The North British Hotel was completed in 1902, about eight years before the date of this photograph. Note the spire of the Tolbooth Church (Victoria Hall), the dome of the Bank of Scotland on The Mound, New College towers, and the Castle.

Roof of Waverley Station. North Bridge on the right. "The Scotsman" Offices and the crown of St. Giles in the background. Virtually the same distant scene as Coll-1167/B/26/12/1. Handwritten title by Alasdair Geddes.

Note that images in Coll-1167/B/26/12/2-3 show views of different parts of North Bridge taken from almost the same, or, at least, an adjacent point. Together, the prints may compose one wide view. See also Coll-1167/B/26/12/6. Handwritten title by Alasdair Geddes.

Title should read "Waverley from North Bridge". Old Jail (site of St. Andrew's House). Portico of the (old) Royal High School and the Burns Monument in the background. Coll-1167/B/26/12/5 the next one, is from a badly damaged negative plate, but must have shown the adjacent right hand view from this same point. Handwritten title by Alasdair Geddes.

The inscription on the original envelope of the negative plate read "Reid's Court - from Street" but the pieces have obviously been put in the wrong envelope. There are ten small pieces besides the larger bits. See Coll-1167/B/26/5/5, to which the inscription apparently applies. The image is of Waverley and North Bridge.
