Leith Street, Edinburgh c1960 - Leyland PD2/20 buses
Looking north down what was the busy shopping street of Leith Street before most of the place was swept away in c1970 for the construction of the greatly unloved St James shopping centre. The buildings on the right did survive - well the first block did, mostly reconverted to flats. The old Thistle Inn is there - along with a fine backend shot of a standard Edinburgh City Transport Leyland Titan PD2 bus with another making its way up the hill.
