Princes Street, Edinburgh, 1984. Looking east along Princes Street, this view is dominated by the clock tower of the North British Hotel, with the tree-lined gardens on the right and scaffolding wrapped around part of the street frontage on the left. The rear of a route 9 bus fills the foreground, carrying an advert reading “The property market is no business for amateurs. Get an Estate Agent to guide you!”
Beyond the traffic lights, the road is busy with buses, cars and taxis, while the skyline behind the hotel picks up landmarks on Calton Hill, including the National Monument and the tall Nelson Monument. It is a strong mid-1980s Edinburgh street scene, combining everyday traffic, roadside advertising, major city-centre architecture and one of the capital’s most recognisable views along Princes Street.
