Colourful Roadworks
I'm not convinced that the colourful sight of these red, white and blue barriers are adequate compensation for the disruption caused by whatever they are digging the street up for this time, but no doubt something will have been improved by the time they have finished. Meantime the barriers make a photogenic contrast with the grey stone terraces.

Garages in William Street Lane North East
It will cost you £2,000 per annum if you want to avoid parking charges, vandalism and car theft by putting your horseless carriage in these old stables. This is a double-garage in case the wife feels the same.

Viscount Melville statue, Melville Street
Statue of Robert Dundas, 2nd Viscount Melville. Not bad for one family for dad to end up on the city's highest column and for his wee boy to get a statue in one of Edinburgh's grandest streets, designed by James Gillespie Graham and named after him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dundas,_2nd_Viscount_Melville
