But Grassmarket looks as lovely as ever.
it definitely doesn't look like this normally! From this point in the year on its baws-deep in tourists, taxis and tour buses until September. Have to say I'm enjoying seeing the city centre so calm and peaceful-if also empty and eerie-for a change, it's a totally novel experience.

It's ~30 years since I've been to E'mbra.
EDIT - About 10 years, actually, but on that occasion I was passing in and out of Waverley, on my way to John O'Groats.
But Grassmarket looks as lovely as ever.
I still miss the passing of the brush shop.
ETA - just realised that Robert Cresser's Brush Shop was at 40 Victoria Street and not Grassmarket.
