West Port seen from Lauriston Street. West Port is well known for two things, one of which is second hand bookshops, the other is obvious from the photograph.

Main Point, West Port
Showing High Riggs almost straight ahead with Lauriston Street on the left and East Fountainbridge on the right. Main Point at the top of the slope from the West Port was the junction of three historic roads to Carlisle via Biggar, Glasgow via Lanark and Stirling via Linlithgow. These can be seen (2nd l. to r.) in a wider view which can be accessed by clicking on the More sizes button above the image frame. Lauriston Street is a later addition to the historic junction.

Main Point
Main Point is the historic junction where the road from the west of the city split in three directions: on the left to Biggar and Carlisle, in the middle to Lanark and Glasgow, and on the right to Linlithgow and Stirling. This spot is probably the original Tollcross, where tolls were collected from traffic approaching the Grassmarket via the West Port. The name was later transferred, first to the lands beyond, known as Orchardfield (the original name of Bread Street), then to the new junction created at the southern end of Lothian Road.
