A new edition of a classic Victorian guide-book to Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood, 1860.
This eBook is not an up-to-date guide to Edinburgh. If this is what you are seeking then this publication is not for you. Rather, the book reflects how Victorian Edinburgh would have appeared to the tourist in those times. The edition will thus, hopefully, appeal to those who possess an antiquarian turn of mind, appreciate quaintness and who are as much interested in edifices long gone as they are in the sites that have, fortunately, survived to the present day.
As well as including images of the original steel engravings, this new edition is supplemented with a variety of illustrations, old and new, to add ambience to the work by enhancing the visualisation process, thus allowing for a richer reading experience.
The original large folding engraved plan of Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars has been split into a number of sections for easier viewing and reference, potentially on small screen sizes.
