How quickly times change

"THE historic Donaldson's College in Edinburgh is being put on the open market after attempts to convert it into apartments or a luxury hotel fell through.

The pub is the Caledonian ('Caley') Ale House on the R H Side of Haymarket station. The photo was taken in the last week of trade before the pub was removed to make wy for the tram interchange at Haymarket.

Much demolition going on on the south side of Bath Street/ east side of West Nile Street which, I assume, backs onto the Buchanan Street site.
