The Scott
Monument from Princes Street Gardens |

View
from the South
Views of the Scott Monument were usually
taken from the east or west, looking along Princes Street, but here is
one from the south, looking across Princes Street Gardens. It
gives a good view of the buildings on the north side of Princes
Street, close to the Scott Monument. |

The low buildings immediately to the right of the Scott
Monument in the B W Kilburn view above are 40-42 Princes Street, the
Sun Fire Office which features in G W Wilson's
instantaneous views of Princes Street (c.1860).

The corner of Princes Street and South St
David Street (where Lennie's Opticians were based for many years) became the Old Waverley Hotel -
6-storeys high. This is hidden behind the Scott Monument in the
Kilburn view above, but had not yet been built when G W Wilson took
his stereo view at the foot of this page.
