Edinburgh Now and Then 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A few more from these series I’ve started doing this year:

1. St Giles Cathedral - old photo was probably taken circa 1880-1887, after a major restoration that was completed between 1872-1883, but before the Statue of Walter Francis Montagu Douglas Scott was erected in 1887

2. Mercat Cross from Parliament Square—the original meeting point for medieval traders and merchants, and a spectator spot for public executions. The Mercat Cross shown here dates from 1885 and is at least the third version of the old burgh landmark.

3. New Assembly Close - the old image shows a couple heading into a production by the Unnamed Theatre Company at the Boogaloo Café, New Assembly Close, during the Edinburgh Festival in 1972.

4. St John’s Street - this undated image shows the St John’s Land building and the adjoining tenements of St John Street, which connects the Canongate with Holyrood Road.

5. Moray Knox Church / Scottish Storytelling
Centre - Knox Free Church opened in 1853 and later merged with the congregation of the Moray Church. The Moray-Knox Church was demolished in the 1960s and replaced by the Netherbow Arts Centre during the 1970s. The Netherbow Theatre became a popular venue for Edinburgh Festival shows. The Netherbow was transformed into the Scottish Storytelling Centre, which was completed in 2006 and is integrated with Knox’s house.

Just a quick reminder of how breathtaking sunsets in Edinburgh can be! 🌅

The prime viewing spot is definitely 📍Calton Hill👌🏻. I truly believe this is one of the most unforgettable experiences in the city, and the best part? It’s absolutely free! 🙌🏻

Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal Skye Terrier, captured hearts of Edinburgh residents by guarding his master’s grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard for 14 years, until he finally joined his beloved John Gray in the same graveyard.

This touching story of devotion and Bobby is immortalized in the historic Greyfriars Kirk graveyard, and also became a true symbol of Edinburgh.

Interestingly, J.K. Rowling also found inspiration for some of the names of characters in her Harry Potter books while wandering among the gravestones, adding a touch of literary magic to this historic site.
