Princes Street
You have ignored the reference from Stuart Harris's "The Place Names of Edinburgh" on the basis of a scan of a reduced facsimile of the engraving rather than the original engraving. Please check the reference. Also see the plan in New Town, Edinburgh or preferably https://maps.nls.uk/view/74414124#zoom=4&lat=5096&lon=3836&layers=BT. 82.32.158.226 (talk) 22:17, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * You are ignoring the clear reference in http://www.oldandnewedinburgh.co.uk/volume3/page129.html which clearly states "And so, to escape from a vulgar London association of ideas, it was named Princes Street, after the future George IV, and the Duke of York." - this is also accepted by "Charles B. Boog Watson, FRSE, FSA (Scotland), one of Edinburgh's most noted historians and antiquaries. An engineer by profession, he was a former vice president of the Old Edinburgh Club contributing frequently to their proceedings and he was also, for many years, a member of the Edinburgh Public Libraries Committee.
 * For 24 years he carried out voluntary research into the City's records working in an office provided for him in the City Chambers. He died on the 16th January, 1947, in his 89th year" who wrote "The Derivation of Edinburgh Street Names" Ieya (talk) 00:45, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * You also have sources like https://ewh.org.uk/street-stories/princes-street/ which state "Princes Street is part of the New Town plan designed by James Craig in 1767, and took its name from the sons of King George III." or http://princes-street.com/history.html "Princes Street was originally to be named 'St. Giles Street' after Edinburgh's patron saint. but was also renamed after George III's two sons, Prince George (future George IV) and the Duke of York."
 * Meanwhile you appear to be arguing on the basis of maps, which don't discuss the derivation at all.Ieya (talk) 00:55, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
