Looks like one of the lanes off Rose Street or St Andrews Square.

Alas, wrong side of Princes Street. Clue - within 5 minutes walk (or 2 minutes cycle) of Peters Yard.

How would you use it ? Any chance of a photo ?

wheel bike up to the vertical, rest front wheel in the U of the rack, D-lock through front wheel to secure bike, would require a cable also to get it through the frame.
I think this sort of thing is not perfect, but it's good for where space (or planning permission, or funding) are at a real premium.

Presume George Squareish/Laneish

Hint: not far from the premises of H Suskin, the textile merchant.

Does it work with a rear mudguard ?

@arrelcat - have you somehow hacked into the contents of my camera's memory card?! That's impressive divining.

AH, spotted it - just along from JJ Giberts Brush and paint shop! The bike rack isn't in the July 2008 google streetview pic.

Bike parking on George Street (etc.) could be so much better, but -
"
There are definitely a lot of racks going in each year - many of them apparently on the basis of where the council receives the most suggestions [email cycling@edinburgh.gov.uk], e.g. the big set of installations dotted round Marchmont a year or two ago."
is true and CEC is always looking for suggestions. A lot of new parking is CycleHoops - are there any on GSt?

re cyclehoops and/or other parking - anyone agree with me that there is a real dearth of this in Bruntsfield place between c. Gillespie Crescent and Whitehouse Loan?
was trying to do some pre Christmas shopping with toddler, and locking up bike was a major hassle.

As for taking bikes into shops. Nice if they let you - and if you have the competence to manage a bike and pick stuff of the bottom/top shelves without inconveniencing others.
BUT it's not "sustainable". 'We' are hoping many more people will cycle.
What might be fun - at a big shop with inadequate/suitably situated bike parking - would be for quite a few people with bikes to turn up (at the same time...) and wander round with their bikes.

They did Bruntsfield in a big way and then some in Morningside.
Perhaps Tollcross is next.
