In this image we are looking southwest towards the city centre with Elm Row on the left and Haddington Place on the right. The Airport bound track is that on the left with the Newhaven track on the right hand side of this shot. In the centre background you can make out St James Quarter which will see its first new shops opening on 24th June of this year. On the left hand side the shop with the red and yellow frontage is the popular and long-standing transport model shop, Harburn Hobbies with the converted office block centre right on Haddington Place being Hostelling Scotland\u2019s Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel.
