The Union Canal now ends at
the lower left corner of this aerial view. It used to extend a short
distance further to the north. (At one time, in the early 19th
century, there were suggestions
that it should be extended through a series of locks to meet the Firth of
Forth at Granton Harbour.)
The major road junction of six
roads at the centre of this aerial view is Tollcross.

maps of Edinburgh (and elsewhere in Britain) today,
I suggest using the Multimap web pages.
