Not seen that photo before so that's a plus. Wonder what the low-rise building was half way up? Assume the Horseshoe Bar would be up the top at St James Square. Only other photo I have is this one, apparently from 1966 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal Lyceum on the top right and Castle Terrace the street on the left of the photo. It’s now Saltire Court office block. The planning permission was only given for Saltire Court on the condition there was part of the building that could be used as a theatre. That theatre is the Traverse Theatre. This photo is next to my desk there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
