changes in town for those of us who now live abroad

on
remember Teviot place - student union - George Sq - and the large open space car park with the view to Arthur's Seat? well this is the new uni building that blocks all that out.
and now for ... what they have done and are doing with the old Edinburgh Royal Infirmary...
















big blue Underbelly tent - Teviot
















Victoria St., the last old shop has gone - it was the old lace shop, replaced by the new cafe there. i havent been in it yet.











the new building at the top of Victoria St replaces the '60s monstrosity - i suppose it is marginally better. it is the new Missoni hotel, and a pizza place...
GUESS what this is...
