Waverley from Regent Steps. Handwritten title by Alasdair Geddes.

A series of a random selection of prints, many appear to be duplicate copies of other images, relating to Edinburgh, Scotland and elsewhere which were added to the teaching collection at the Outlook Tower at some point after Patrick Geddes' death and before 1990. Some are marked and are therefore copyright of W. Reid; Balmain Photographers, Edinburgh; and The Scotsman - some of these may belong in Coll-1167/C/2

Waverley from Regent Steps. Handwritten title on the original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negatives was written by Alasdair Geddes.

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.
