North British Station Hotel

This hotel is on the north side of Edinburgh Waverley station. Long known as the North British or NB, for the North British Railway Company which owned the station, it was renamed The Balmoral in 1991

It had been 6.25 on the Balmoral clock more or less since the start of lockdown when it stopped and couldn't be maintained. It is now moving again so punters no longer have an excuse for missing the trains they are not allowed to travel on. Walter Scott remains stony-faced.

The narrow passageway to the left of the hotel links Princes Street and the station via (the currently closed) Waverley Steps. Princes Mall shopping centre, through which temporary access has been made available see image [[35912]] stands to the left of the steps.
