EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the Royal Mile, the historic heart of Edinburgh, Scotland, as it may have appeared in the late nineteenth century. The view looks east towards the High Street, with the distinctive Tollbooth standing proudly on the right-hand side. This ancient structure, which dates back to the fifteenth century, served as a tollgate and a prison, and is a testament to the city's rich history. The Royal Mile, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a vibrant and bustling street filled with shops, cafes, and historic buildings. It is named for its length, which stretches approximately one mile from the Edinburgh Castle at its western end to Holyrood Palace at its eastern end. The street is a popular tourist destination and is renowned for its unique character and charm. This photograph is believed to have been taken for the Royal Family's personal album, making it a rare and precious glimpse into the past. The exact date of the photograph is unknown, but the Victorian era is a strong possibility due to the period clothing and the appearance of the Tollbooth. The photograph is part of the Historic England Photo Library, which preserves and shares images of England and Wales' historic environment. This photograph, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Scotland and the Royal Family's connection to it.
