Here is one taken just round the corner from North Bridge, and along from the Waverley Steps.

I imagine there would have been many photographers prowling around Princes Street, snapping away. 

In the picture are:

-   my Grandfather, William Gibson and

-   his brother-in-law Richard Craik.

I think the photo would have been taken in 1936."
