West Nicolson Street. 1 hour ago, Morgan said: You're right, Barney. West Nicolson Street, I think? It does look like W Nicholson Street, but the photo appears on this page saying it's Lothian Street and the houses were demolished in the early 70s. I think they would have been along the north side of what's now Bristo Square. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/these-16-images-show-how-one-corner-edinburghs-southside-was-changed-forever-100664 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About from the second 7 (of 277.4), nowadays it's the curve in the road with the museum extention at your back. Have I got the location right?
