This fascinating selection of 170 archive images, many previously unpublished, captures some of the changes and developments that have taken place in Edinburgh between the 1850s and 1970s. Each image is accompanied by a detailed caption, bringing the past to life and describing many aspects of life in Scotland’s capital city during this time, including childhood and schooldays, street life and domestic life, work and recreation, as well as grand occasions — including Edward VII’s coronation celebrations. This book will appeal to everyone with an interest in the history of Edinburgh, and will awaken memories of days gone by for all who know and love this beautiful city.
