Like many towns and cities in the UK, Edinburgh has changed over the years and continues to do so. Parts of Scotland's capital have been transformed, especially on Princes Street, where several landmark buildings from the Georgian and Victorian eras were demolished during the 1960s. At St James Square the removal of original Georgian tenements to make way for the St James Centre altered the appearance of the district forever, and it's all set to change again with the demolition of the shopping centre in full swing. The demolition of the Caledonian Railway Company's Princes Street station terminal in 1965 left a giant gap-site close to Lothian Road which would take thirty years to fill. This is a fully illustrated exploration of Edinburgh's well-known and lesser-known places and buildings that have been lost over the years.
