Old Photographs Princes Street Edinburgh Scotland
Old photograph of Princes Street below Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland. Princes Street was originally to have been called St Giles Street after the patron saint of Edinburgh. However, King George III rejected the name, St Giles also being the patron saint of lepers and having association with a slum area of London.The street is named after King George's two eldest sons, the Prince George, Duke of Rothesay, later King George IV, and the Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany.
