Original caption: A view of Princes Street looking east. In the view is seen the old entrance to the Waverley Station where passenger trains went through Scotland Street Tunnel. Also seen are the sites of Waverley Market and the North British Station Hotel.
Princes Street is one of the main thoroughfares and shopping areas in Edinburgh. It was created as part of James Craig's New Town development and named in honour of George III's sons. With the exception of St John's Church there is no building on the southern side of Princes Street, allowing spectacular views of Edinburgh Castle and Old Town.
