Thanks for the link, I always like to see old photos of Edinburgh buses and trams. My Dad worked on them immediately after the war right up until he retired.

I have seen these before, at least two of them.
It takes some nerve to point a camera at an Edinburgh lady buying her chicken at the West End. Campbells shop perhaps? William Street.
The policeman looks as if he could thump him.
I think the photos are well composed but rather meddlesome.

Presumably the photographer had his PVG and obtained written consent from the subjects, or their parent if a minor, agreeing to the images being published and waiving their image rights in perpetuity.

My older sister is the wee lassie in the ninth picture, with the young lad, which was taken at the foot of Arthur St.
Going to see the Exhibition too, wonderful memories.

Loved the old photos, the one with the boy sitting on the cannon reminded me, playing soldiers inside the castle with the mates, then down to the High Hills behind the Ross Bandstand for a game of best man's fall!!!
Even, surfing down the High Hills on cardboard boxes we got from the wallpaper shop in Spittal Street, great memories!!!

Here's a link I posted a couple of years ago. There are some fantastic old photos of Leith.

Aside from the local interest, these are great photos. I'll need to get to this exhibition, thanks for posting.
You'd have serious child protection questions to answer taking them now, mind you.

Another school pal from Tollcross Primary was Davie Hill, he stayed at the house right next to the railway bridge on Grove Street.
I also used to help collect the store horse for my milk round from Upper Grove Place.

Fantastic pictures - thanks for the link.
Sitting on the guns brings back memories (my granddad worked at the castle at the army museum bit in the late 60s / early 70s) as do the wooly jumpers - I used to dread watching my mum flicking through the patterns....
