Activity in the High Street south of the Wallace Tower has turned the snow to slush, but icicles still hang from the eaves. To the left can be seen the butcher's shop of <PERSON> and the Sun Inn Bar, and further along on that side of the street is <PERSON>'s Ayr Arms Hotel. On the right, the cooperage of <PERSON> sits above the shop of <PERSON>, boot and shoe maker. Although no trams are visible, their tracks and the poles supporting their power cables are in evidence.
