This view appears to show a proposed new location for Trinity College Church after it was deconstructed in 1848 by the North British Railway company. The church was actually rebuilt in 1872 on a site between Jeffrey Street and the High Street.
Trinity College Church was established in 1460 on a site close to where Waverley Station now stands. It was dismantled in 1848 by the North British Railway Company, and rebuilt twenty four years later in its present location on Jeffrey Street.
The Low Calton area of Edinburgh was situated in the ravine between Princes Street and Calton Hill, now spanned by Regent Bridge. 'Low Calton' referred specifically to the western half of the road passing through the ravine, this side being part of Edinburgh whilst the eastern side was in the Barony of Calton. This part of the city is now largely non-residential, and is occupied by the east section of Calton Road.
