PRINCES STREET.

HTHEN Edinburgh began to outgrow
" It's streets ard run over into the
countryside. the citizens took the mat
ter in hand and decided to enlarge
their city. They started with a drab
little street which they built over from
the ground up and called It Princes
street From the day its first stone
was laid, the Scots OF Edinburgh de-
termined that Princes street should be
the most beautiful street imaginable.
Today Princes street is. to the Scot
the most beautiful street in the world.
The stranger from another land strug-
gles TO remain true TO home attrac-
IONS. ana compromises by pronounc-
ing Princes street one Of the most
beautiful streets in the world
On one side Of this Scottish main
street are RANGED the best hotels
shops, and clubs in Edinburgh. On the
other are terraces and monuments
with frame Of trees and grass
From this street you can see the
towers OF Edinburgh castle standing
out against the sky Here are statues
OF Edinburgh's great. and gardens
where the Scots can take the air with
out going to the outskirts OF the city

many spires forms a covering for a
