The picture above was taken in the early 1970s, before most of the area was demolished to build the York Street Bypass.  It shows Albany Place, which connected the top of Adrian Street to the junction of Queen Street, Princes Street and Cowgate Hill.

The picture below shows the street as it looks today.  Adrian Street can just be seen in the background, but the access from Albany Place has now been blocked by a council car-park.
