Bo'ness Fair 1964

Pictures from the Bo'ness Fair 1964. The top pictures are from South Street (spot the old Wevlings Store) and the bottom right is at the Town Hall. I am not sure where the bottom left picture was taken.

Crane (Unused)

This is the crane on the Clyde which can be seen behind Jackie Bird when she's reading the news.

A Very Large Hole

This is the site of the old bus depot in the Canongate in Edinburgh. I think offices are supposed to be built here.

Tree

Tree with avian occupants.

St Bernard's Well

This is St Bernard's Well on the Water of Leith. There is a spring there and its waters supposedly have healing properties.

Before and After

Victoria Street and Victoria Terrace

The Links

Stark's Brae, more commonly known as The Links, in Grangepans, Bo'ness. Until about 20 years ago cars were able to use it. Now it's a path.

Dean Bridge

Various pictures of Dean Bridge and Dean Village down by the Water of Leith.

Fleshmarket Close

The top of Fleshmarket Close as seen from the High Street. Until Cockburn Street was built in the 1850s it was one continuous street all the way down to Market Street.

Upper Bow

The top of the Upper Bow, formerly the top of the West Bow. A 19th century photograph of the same location can be found here. (The Upper Bow is the street sloping down by Thistle Do Nicely, the street I photographed here.)

Gutted

The Remains of Khushi's restaurant on Victoria Street today after last night's fire.

Junction

This is the four-ways junction between Lothian Road, Princes Street, Queensferry Street and Shandwick Place. Quite a nightmare of traffic, especially with roadworks.

Busking

Brass buskers on The Mound.

Cockburn Street

The top of Cockburn Street, Edinburgh.

New Parliament House

New Parliament House near Calton Hill in Edinburgh, formerly the Royal High School. This was the proposed site of the Scottish Parliament if Scotland had voted for devolution in the 1979 referendum.

Upper Bow

This short truncated street ends on the terrace above Victoria Street, but was once part of the main route between the Grassmarket and the Castle before the roads were all changed in the 19th century.

Sunset

Sunset over Bo'ness.

Frosty

The Mist

Up in the fields between Bo'ness and Linlithgow.

Nelson Tower

The Nelson Tower on Calton Hill, as seen from Regent Road. Views from the tower are here and here.
