Edinburgh. 25th June 1928: Edinburgh, capital of Scotland

25th June 1928: Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. There is evidence of Iron Age settlement in Edinburgh and the old part of the city developed around the castle within the protective Flodden Wall. The New Town was begun in 1767 to create space for the expanding population and much of it was built in the Georgian style which was prevalent at the time. The city hosts the Military tattoo and the Edinburgh Festival every year and is a popular tourist resort. (Photo by Alfred Hind Robinson/A H Robinson/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the vibrant city of Edinburgh on June 25th, 1928. As the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh boasts a rich history that is evident in every corner of its ancient streets. The photograph showcases the juxtaposition between the old and new parts of the city, with the iconic castle standing proudly at its center. Edinburgh's origins can be traced back to Iron Age settlements, and over time, it evolved around the protective Flodden Wall. However, as population growth demanded more space, construction began on the New Town in 1767. This expansion was predominantly built in Georgian style architecture which was popular during that era. The city's cultural significance shines through as it hosts two major events annually - The Military Tattoo and The Edinburgh Festival. These celebrations attract visitors from all over the world who come to experience Scotland's rich heritage firsthand. Alfred Hind Robinson skillfully captures this historic moment with his lens, immortalizing a snapshot of Edinburgh frozen in time. With meticulous attention to detail and utilizing a panoramic format, Robinson transports us back almost a century ago when this bustling Scottish metropolis left an indelible mark on anyone fortunate enough to visit. This stunning print serves not only as a beautiful piece of art but also as a reminder of Edinburgh's enduring charm and allure for generations past and present alike.
