This view looks down on Holyrood
Palace from the slopes of Calton Hill.
The stones in the foreground are from Trinity
Church in Low Calton. It was demolished to allow the railway station
at Waverley to be built. It was planned to reconstruct Trinity
Church on a different site, but the stones lay on Calton Hill for many
yeas and a large number went missing.
Only part of Trinity Church was rebuilt. In
recent years, it has been used as the Edinburgh Brass Rubbing Center.
It is close to John Knox House, down one of the closes on the northern
side of the Royal Mile.
