NOTES on the MAP

The map used above is:

 The Post Office Directory Plan of Edinburgh & Leith

by W & AK Johnston

Geographers and Engravers to the Queen

1860

I have used this 1860 map on several pages in this web site, to show links to photographs from many different periods, 1850s     1950s     2000.

Remarkably little has changed in the area covered by this map, except for the demolition of St James Square and its replacement by buildings for the Scottish Office, a hotel and the St James Shopping Centre.  This area is immediately to the East of the arrow numbered 8 on the map.

 

NOTES on the PHOTOGRAPHS

The photographs linked to this map are described as having been taken around 2000.  This is an approximate date.  They have, in fact been taken from the early 1990s to date.
