View down Fountainbridge towards old brewery site from Lochrin Square development, Edinburgh

Description

A view taken from a high vantage point looking along Fountainbridge road. There are high-rise newer developments in the foreground and older tenement buildings on either side of the street in the middle distance. A large crane dominates the skyline beyond the houses where there is a construction site and further along is the large white leisure complex of Fountainpark.
