The sign from Fat Sam's restaurant, which stood nearby at the corner of Semple Street and Fountainbridge, is visable in one of the gardens in the foreground.
Chalmers Buildings were designed by Patrick Wilson and built in 1854. Like the nearby Rosemount Buildings and Rosebank Cottages they were designed as accomodation for artisans with the aim of improving housing conditions for working people in Edinburgh.
The headquarters of the investment company Scottish Widows are situated at the corner of Morrison Street and Semple Street in Edinburgh, a short distance west of Lothian Road. The distinctive crescent shaped building was erected on land formerly occupied by the Port Hamilton canal terminus. The headquarters were opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1998.
