Dart 82
In George IV Bridge Dennis Dart SLF, Plaxton Pointer SPD, number 82 works on Service 42 between Craigleith and Kings Road on Saturdays.
In the distance, the former Bank of Scotland Headquarters, now headquarters of the merged HBOS and this impressive Roman Baroque architecture stands on Edinburgh's Mound looking down over East Princes Street Gardens. The site was bought in 1800 and the HQ building was initiated while Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville (1742 - 1811), was already Governor of the Bank.
Note the fine dome with tempietto lantern - that's the bit on the top that looks like a little Greek temple. There's also a gold figure on top holding two rings - a symbol of the bank's posterity perhaps? Or may be he just wants to play hoopla.
