Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood

 Nelson's Pictorial Guide Book  -  Edinburgh and its neighbourhood  -  Cover ©

I have seen several copies of this small illustrated guidebook, the publication dates ranging from 1858 to 1889.  The attractive illustrations below are taken from an edition published around 1870.
