Walk This Way

When Waverley Station was built in the middle of the 19th century, it was a condition that there had to be access between the old town at the Canongate and Calton. Previously this had been with Leith Wynd, which went under the station, then later it was a walkway over the roof of Waverley Station which stretched from Jeffrey Street to Calton Road. This was in use up until at least 1970 and the remains of it can be seen above.
