This photograph is part of the Indicommons.org then-and-now feature Ships at the Leith Docks.

The earlier links to recent pictures no longer work. But here's one of a Tall Ships event in 1995.
and a link to a collection of old photos at www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_a_l/0_around_edinburgh_-_leith_doc...

I took a picture from this very spot...in 2003. Love the mishmash of architecture in the building on the left.

Fantastic image, thanks for posting I must go and take one from here today.

I recognized it immediately as Cowgate!

Looks like this instrument is based upon Lord Kelvin's work and patents. At the Persistent URL the National Galleries of Scotland has this note : "He was also the partner of a Glasgow firm that made measuring instruments from his own patents" And here is some of his published work on such instruments: zapatopi.net/kelvin/papers/terrestrial_magnetism_and_the_... .
