    Although the spelling varied at first, the name became Princes Street.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    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

    I suspect the note is incorrect - the building noted is in fact the old, and now demolished, Waverley Market as the station is to the right.

    So much nicer than it is today !!

    It's not so bad elyziumfields, though the Baloral Hotel (think it would have been the "North British" back then) got a whole lot grander and more crenellated some time shortly after the picture was taken.
