Coll-1167: Archives of the Patrick Geddes Centre for Planning Studies
The Photographs from the Survey of Edinburgh are part of a larger collection formerly held within the Outlook Tower on Castlehill. The collection as whole was catalogued while still at the Outlook Tower, this catalogue published as a 2-volume set Catalogue of the archives of the Patrick Geddes Centre for Planning Studies, the second volume focussed solely on the Edinburgh Survey photographs. It is this volume which has now been revisited, its contents keyed, with minor alterations, into a database, accessible below.
It is hoped to address the rest of the collection in due course. Meanwwhile a full digital copy of the first volume is available in pdf format (9MB file)

| Title | Deaconess Hospital |
| Original title | Deaconess Hospital |
| Date | c1904-1910 |
| Creator | Sir Patrick Geddes |
| Scope and content | The back of the present (1989) Deaconess Hospital is visible at the far end of the back greens, (the front is in the Pleasance, see Coll-1167/1/T/2). This building, now much altered and extended, dates from 1894 ('Buildings of Edinburgh', Gifford, McWilliam & Walker). Carnegie Street, not visible, was on the left; Brown Street, of which the back is shown here, on the right. The square-roofed extension at the left back of the hospital can still be identified, though a storey has been added. The three-storey separate building on the left no longer exists; perhaps it was an annex or staff quarters. This view is looking west. |
