The scene depicts an urban intersection in the City of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, specifically looking uphill from the vicinity of Market Street and Jeffrey Street towards the Old Town. Predominantly multi-story, grey stone buildings with a variety of architectural styles, including Scottish Baronial elements like turrets and spires, line the steep streets. The building on the far left features a prominent round turret and visible "EDEN HOTEL" signage, with a dark flag on a flagpole atop its roofline. Another building to the right exhibits a steep, conical spire with a finial. The asphalt road surface is wet, reflecting light from an overcast, grey sky. White pedestrian crosswalk markings are prominent in the foreground. A black and white striped pole with a yellow spherical top stands near the center. A white hatchback vehicle is positioned on the left side of the road, and a silver hatchback is parked on the right. Several indistinct individuals are visible walking on the pavements and ascending the uphill thoroughfares. Two circular "No Entry" signs are present, restricting vehicular access up two different streets.
