Help with addresses in Leith & Elgin.

I have to apologise for the quality of the attached clip but it's all I have and I can't improve it.
I am trying to decipher the usual residences of John Cameron in Leith & Margaret Falconer in Elgin.
I appreciate the Leith address may be impossible as it doesn't look complete to me.
As always, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I think the second one is Albany Street
Can't be Albany Street if it was in Elgin !

The Leith one is beyond me. I still can;t read it after getting the cert!
Hopefully a better version for someone to work on.

I know Leith fairly well but cannot for the life of me make this one out.
Can I ask the year of registration and the district of Leith which may help.

On Gadget's improved version, I keep seeing it start with "Princ". Could it be Princess Street?

Looks like Primrose Street, Leith, to me. It's still there, or was; it's shown on my 1995 street map.
