Although the spelling varied at first, the name became Princes Street.

Thanks! Added the primary spelling for "Princes Street."

The street was never known as Princess Street and would only ever have been written that way in error (a common and easy mistake right enough). It was named after the sons of George III, the British monarch at the time of the New Town's construction in the 1760s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Town,_Edinburgh

Old Town Edinburgh from the Calton Hill

This brought such a smile to my face! I'd love to see it beside a shot from exactly the same spot now.

quaint root said:
Wow. Presumably that's Calton Gaol in the foreground? Closest modern shot I could find through a cursory Flickr search is this.

This photograph has been discussed in the Flickr Commons group in Edinburgh: Then & Now This is the shot that gave me the inspiration to do the project : )
