Title
Formation of the new west road under Edinburgh Castle
Description
Sun breaks through clouds behind Edinburgh Castle sitting on the Castle Rock. People are walking up stairs starting from the base of the rock up to the Castle. A group of men can be seen in the foreground carrying shovels and spades. Wheelbarrows are lying in the middle of the road that is under construction. Some of the buildings of Edinburgh can be seen in the distance.
