Above Edinburgh and South-East Scotland
Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1989 First edition. Blue cloth 29x22 cm, gilt, many col photos Pagination: 168. In this stunning book Angus and Patricia Macdonald take us above Scotland’s capital city and surrounding areas of south-east Scotland encompassing the Border region, the Lothians and Fife. The superb aerial photographs which form the basis of the book provide remarkable views of village, town and country and illustrate visible clues to key stages in the development of the present-day landscape. A captivating text makes connections between the physical environment and the lives which are lived in it. Selected poems by the great Scottish poet and long-time inhabitant of Edinburgh, Norman MacCaig, open and close the book and, with their lucid and haunting images, set the scene for each section. These are complemented by a stimulating and thoughtful introduction by award-winning Observer journalist Neal Ascherson. Words and pictures together show how many aspects of the South-East Scotland of today have been shaped and conditioned by the activities of the past and by the character of the land and climate. Contents: Ancient beginnings; Medieval and renaissance; Edinburgh in the eighteenth century; Edinburgh in the early nineteenth century; The landscape in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; The nineteenth century, an age of industry and social reform; The twentieth century.
