ill try and get a snap, but quite hard with my phone at 40mph, the building looks like an old school/museum with stone pillars

Donaldson's

ain't got pillars.

Lovely building that. Apparently the conversion to pricey flats is back on track, now that the developer's no longer in imminent danger of going bust.

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.
Housebuilder Cala, which struck a deal to buy the site from the board of the former school for deaf children eight years ago, is disposing of the site without undertaking any work"

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.

Mr Sam

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.
