redjambo Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) We'll go with the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary building in Simpson Loan then. I still haven't figured out what exactly the building was used for, and what it is now, but it certainly is beautiful.

Some thoughts though - definitely Georgian, probably New Town, noticeable balustrade parapet. The doors make it look like an ordinary street address, but the way the corner entrance tower is in the angle looks as if we could be looking at a quadrangle? The lamps in front of the corner door are interesting in that they both have crosses on top, suggesting it could possibly have a connection to a religious establishment. The ladder at the top is also interesting - why would that be there unless to service something, perhaps a flag, an aerial, a clock? But as for finding the building, nada.
