Photograph
This photo was taken from
Johnston Terrace. It looks down on the west end of the Grassmarket as the
riders come to the end of their ride. The riders came up the Royal mile,
then down Johnston Terrace and entered the into the Grassmarket from West Port.
The horse boxes to take
the horses home were parked in King's Stables Road, the road that extends to the
right from the centre of this photo.
