I dont recognise this one. I thought it might be the part of the Royal Mile near the Worlds End but I think the road is wider than in the photo. Thought of St Marys Street but I think it is steeper.

 

I love the mix of old cars/vans and someone pushing a cart.

Looking at that gives me the fear 

 

Same here - makes me feel giddy just looking at it 🤣

I think it's somewhere in Leith, but I don't recognise it either

That had to have been one of the coldest places in Edinburgh.  The wind blowing up that vennel was biting and as young boy used to cling to my Mum's coat tails when we walked it.  Brrrrrr.....

Possibly the original Kirkgate before it was stupidly demolished.

Sure that is the roundabout at the top of Wester Hailes Road and looks to be heading towards the old Sighthill terminus on Calder Road
