I found the Chanel banner in an interesting location surrounded by so much history. The Chanel banner also makes an interesting cover for the renovation work being done on the building behind the banner. Much of "Old Town" Edinburgh is ideal for walking with very little traffic but as you move away from the Grassmarket market place and The Royal Mile, views of a more modern city become more common. From what I have read, all renovations go to great efforts to retain the character and architecture of each restored building.
