Here we look west towards York Place with John Lewis store on Leith Street on the left and to its right, part of the new St. James Quarter. In the middle is St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral and St Paul’s and St George’s Church is on the right. A single traffic lane (usually very slow moving on weekdays) is squeezed in front of Tesco carrying traffic from York Place to Leith Walk and London Road. The buildings here date from first decade of the nineteenth century but most have been heavily altered. (Photographs x2 by Roy Calderwood, 6th February 2022)
