Footballfirst Posted November 7 Posted November 7 1906 image of the east end of Princes Street / Waterloo Place (Lost Edinburgh). The image looks to have been touched up, going by how the people stand out, such as the boy in the kilt and the one who looks to be on his mobile phone at the bottom of the pic. Someone on the LE Facebook post also pointed out that the the frontages at the end of Waterloo Place were the same on both sides of the road (as they still are today), which I was unaware of.
