EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable view of Craighouse Asylum, Edinburgh, dating back to 1895. Once a sanctuary for those seeking solace and treatment, this grand building has now been transformed into an integral part of Napier University. The image transports us to Victorian Scotland, immersing us in the rich history that surrounds this iconic structure. With its imposing architecture and sprawling grounds, Craighouse Asylum stands as a testament to both the architectural prowess of its time and the significant role it played in society. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era when mental health care was still in its infancy. The Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland presents this image as a window into our past, preserving moments that have shaped our present. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of understanding and supporting mental health issues. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an age where compassion met innovation within these walls. Today, Napier University continues to honor that legacy by repurposing this historic landmark for educational purposes. This print is not intended for commercial use but rather serves as an invaluable piece of historical documentation—a snapshot frozen in time—allowing us to appreciate the evolution from asylum to academic institution while acknowledging the importance of preserving our collective heritage.
