Thank you to Tam Croal for allowing me to reproduce this photo.
This is one of many photos taken by Tam's father Wullie Croal in the
Dumbiedykes area between the 1950s and 1970s.
This view looks to the west from the slopes beneath Salisbury Crags
in Holyrood Park, towards Edinburgh Castle.
The two streets, centre-right in this photo are (left) Brown Street
and (right) Salisbury Street. All the buildings in these
streets, except the church on the corner of Brown Street and
Pleasance, had been demolished before this photo was taken.
