Playfair Steps, Edinburgh

Of course when I was young these were just steps, The fancy name was added in the late 1970's to some amusement/bemusement.

"The Playfair Steps pay homage to architect William Henry Playfair 1789 -1857. Leading from the top of Market Street down to the square at the Mound, The Art Galleries, Princes Street and Princes Street Gardens."
