Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
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.
