Edinburgh Castle from the Vennel showing the old Potsbugh Meeting House
Description
Edinburgh Castle with its half-moon battery dominates this scene of a narrow downward sloping street, also known as a vennel. Houses are either side of the thoroughfare. Smoke is rising from the chimneys of the tiled roofs. On a drying green visible through the vennel are sheets laid out on the grass and washing on drying lines
