Old street in the ancient Jewish Ghetto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Ghetto) close the "Portico d'Ottavia" SUGHERARI are in Italians the Cork Workers, SUGHERO means Cork. So this was the street of the Cork Workers inside Roman Ghetto. Many Rome street's name has origin from the old workers, like "Via dei Coronari", "Via dei Cappelari", "Via dei Baullari" and many others

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_... .

The perspective of this view is odd - it looks as though the road descends towards the west.

What a wonderful series of photos. It looks quite unchanged, and is one of the loveliest walks, from Holyrood to the Castle. :) Wish I were there now!

Yes, I do wish I was here also. I have a lovely memory of this though.
