A Walk around the City Walls

The Walk

In its Centenary Year, 2008, the Old Edinbrugh Club arranged a conducted walk around the walls of the city of Edinburgh. 

This followed the route taken, exactly a hundred years earlier, on a walk organised by the Survey Section of Edinburgh Photographic Society in which members of the the Old Edinburgh Club were invited to participate.

The Photo

Here, the walk has come inside the Museum of Edinburgh to view one of two short sections of wall that remain in place on its original bedrock, behind the scenes, at the museum.

There used to be a far longer section of wall here, but unfortunately, most of it was demolished during reconstruction work in the 1960s.
