EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Edinburgh in 1972. The image captures Calton Hill, a majestic landmark that has stood as a symbol of grandeur and history for centuries. Located in Midlothian, Scotland, this iconic hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the cityscape. From this aerial perspective, we can see the intricate details of Calton Hill's landscape. The prominent features include an observatory perched atop the hill, serving as a gateway to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. St Andrews House stands tall nearby, exuding an air of governmental importance and authority. The focal point is undoubtedly Nelson's Monument—a towering structure dedicated to Admiral Lord Nelson—proudly standing at its summit. This monument pays homage to his heroic naval victories and serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich maritime heritage. The photograph itself is part of NCAP: Aerofilms Archive collection—an invaluable resource capturing historical moments from above. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, it allows us to delve into our past and appreciate how these landmarks have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where Edinburgh's beauty was just as awe-inspiring as it is today. It reminds us that while cities may change and progress with time, their timeless allure remains intact for generations to come.
