National Gallery at the Foot of the Mound |

View towards Edinburgh Castle This photo may have been taken in the late C19. The building in the foreground is the southernmost of the two National Galleries at the Foot of the Mound. Behind the gallery is Edinburgh Castle, and to the left of the castle is Ramsay Garden. Apart from the size of the trees, there has been very little change in this view over since the photo was taken. It was probably taken from the Scott Monument in East Princes Street Gardens |

Alexander Ayton Thank you to Paul Mottram for allowing me to reproduce this image from his collection of glass plates by Alex Ayton. This collection of Ayton glass plates includes many photos taken on the East Coast between Buckie on the Moray Firth in Scotland and Scarborough in Yorkshire, England. Alex Ayton had studios in Edinburgh from 1875, He was member of of EPS (Edinburgh Photographic Society) from 1883 onwards, and was elected President of the society in 1894 but died, suddenly, later that year. |
