This view looks to the west along Princes Street towards the Royal Scots
Greys statue in Princes Street Gardens opposite the junction with
Frederick Street.
This photo is one of several that were taken by Thomas M McGurk, from the
top deck of a bus in Princes Street, on June 20, 1959. There seem to
be some reflections from the front window of the bus in the darker areas
of the picture.

Watching the World Go By!
"You can see part of the Castle rock and
the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens. I love the five old folks
squashed together on the bench, watching the world go by. "
