Hardy, Clive Edinburgh , Bridgend: Waterton Press, 1999

Reprint [First 1998]. Laminated pictorial boards, about 100 bw photos Pagination: 109. Known throughout the world for its famous castle, Edinburgh has been Scotland's capital city for over 500 years. With its tall tenement houses and steep slopes of the Old Town to the broad expanses and elegant steets of the New Town, the city justly deserves its title of Athens of the North. As well as being an ancient centre of learning, the university being established in 1582, Edinburgh is also the home to many of Scotland’s important art institutions. Surrounded by beautiful hills the city has long been a major tourist attraction. Around 100 photographs of Edinburgh from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, all selected from the Francis Frith Archive, accompanied with informative and elightening text. Contents: Introduction - Francis Frith; Linlithgow; Queensferry; Newhaven; Edinburgh; Roslin; Hawthornden; North Berwick; Whitekirk; Blackburn.
