Description
With each winding road and tucked away corner, a new architectural treasure or monument reveals itself as Edinburgh's walls begin to tell of a rich and fascinating history.
The melancholy sepia photographs in the book explore Edinburgh's Royal Mile and its surrounding areas including some of its beautiful cemeteries: Greyfriars Kirkyard, New Calton Burial Ground, and Canongate Kirkyard.
Take a stroll through the streets and enjoy the facades of Edinburgh Castle, St. Gile's Cathedral, the Canongate Tolbooth, Regent Bridge and the mystery of the city's alleys and closes.
A picture is worth 1000 words- a unique art photography book without text.
For those interested in dark tourism/alternative travel destinations, this is a lovely photo book with a surreal touch. Photomontages and the vintage feel of the images are reminiscent of times gone by.
A list of addresses of locations is included at the end of the book with corresponding page numbers.
