The gardens of George Square
can clearly be seen in both the map and aerial view. The square was
once surrounded by Georgian houses, but most were demolished in the 1960s,
to allow new Edinburgh University buildings to be constructed.
For
maps of Edinburgh (and elsewhere in Britain) today,
I suggest using the Multimap web pages.
