Lord Nelson, off Ferry Road
Positioned on the corner of Trafalgar Street and Trafalgar Lane - where else? Given the innate anti-English predisposition of many Scots, its presence indicates proximity to the port of Leith where, it may be presumed, some sailors were press-ganged into service on Nelson's ships. The muster book of H.M.S. Victory records 64 Scots aboard before the Battle of Trafalgar and there must have been more on board other ships of the fleet.

Bonnington Station, 48 years on
An attempt to produce a photo for comparison with that of Ben Brookbank Image taken in 1962. Not much is visible through the trees that have grown since the trains stopped running, and the prominent tenement in Ben's photo has disappeared completely, to be replaced by a modern version. The railway is now a foot and cycle path, one of many on the dead railways of Edinburgh. This was taken from the bridge over the railway [Newhaven Road], which I think may have been Ben's viewpoint. A more distant view from the track bed is Image
