Artist's Description
The Caledonian Hotel opened in December 1903 as part of Princes Street Railway Station. Its creation was a direct response to the North British (The Balmoral) Hotel which had opened on the opposite side of the city centre the previous year.
The façade was built using red sandstone delivered directly along the Caledonian railway’s own line from Locharbriggs and Corncockle quarries in Dumfriesshire.
Following its remodelling, Princes Street Station (or “the Caley” as it affectionately became known) was at its peak, handling more than 250 trains a day over 7 platforms and featured a shed with a colossal 850ft long roof span.
The station was closed completely in 1965 and largely demolished in 1969-70. Only its hotel remains, but it is no longer in railway ownership.
About Yvonne Johnstone
Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter.
