Canongate Tolbooth

The street in this scent appears deserted - possibly because of the long exposure used to take the photo.  Movement can be seen in the washing hanging from the building on the left, now part of the Museum of Edinburgh.

The Canongate Tolbooth is on the right hand side of this photo with its distinctive clock appears very similar today.  

Canongate Tolbooth has, for many years, been used by  Edinburgh Photographic Society as a logo on its syllabusesexhibition acceptance labels, notepaper and other items.
