Looking up Victoria Street from the Grassmarket, Edinburgh
Description
The spire of the Highland Tolbooth Church in Edinburgh rises up above the tenements and buildings of Victoria Street. Shops are on the lower level of the buildings and cars are parked on the road outside. A well is situated in the middle of the cobblestone road and just visible on it is a relief carving city's coat of arms.

Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Victoria Street and Terrace were constructed between 1829 and 1834 to link the Grassmarket to George IV Bridge, also built at this time. The street cut through the pre-existing West Bow, joining its lower section for the final descent to the Grassmarket and blocking through traffic to its upper section leading to the Lawnmarket.
