This view looks to the south-west from
Calton Hill.
The large buildings in the foreground are:
-
The Bridewell
(left)
-
Calton Jail
(right, with the replica of Cleopatra's Needle behind it.)
The
Governor's House, with its towers, is on higher ground between the
Bridewell and the Jail (both now demolished).
Edinburgh Castle
is on the skyline at the right-hand side of this view, only about a mile
away but barely visible through the mist.
