Title
Royal Arch Newington Road, July 1907 (?)
Description
A large decorative archway has been placed across a residential street in Newington in Edinburgh. The words, 'Welcome to Edinburgh' have been written across the arch and it is decorated with flowers and bunting. There are many smartly dressed people wandering between the archway and gathering at the side of the road. A tramline runs down the centre of the cobbled road and through the centre of the arch.

Although, 1907 is given as the date on the print, research suggests it is likely to be an image of an official royal visit which occurred in 1903.
Newington Road is a continuation of South Clerk Street. It runs through Newington in the South Side of Edinburgh.
