EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic St Giles Cathedral, located in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town on the High Street, as it appeared in 1883. The image, taken by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of Scotland's capital city. St Giles Cathedral, also known as the "High Kirk of Edinburgh," is one of the most iconic landmarks in Edinburgh. Its distinctive red sandstone façade, with its intricate carvings and gargoyles, has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the city's tumultuous history. The cathedral's origins date back to the 12th century, making it one of the oldest places of worship in Scotland. The photograph reveals the cathedral's impressive architecture, with its pointed arches, flying buttresses, and ornate details. The image also showcases the bustling High Street, which was the city's main thoroughfare and commercial hub during the late 19th century. The street is lined with shops, houses, and people, providing a sense of the vibrant and bustling atmosphere that once characterized Edinburgh's Old Town. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and providing insights into the appearance of Edinburgh over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the importance of preserving its architectural and cultural heritage for future generations. The photograph also highlights the enduring allure of Edinburgh, which continues to attract visitors from around the world, who come to explore its ancient streets, historic sites, and vibrant culture.
