The opening · free to read
West from the Hill shows the picturesque and irregular mass of the Castle, immediately behind the classic monument to Dugald Stewart, which occupies the foreground of the picture. On the right of the monument and the south side of Princes Street appear in succession the tower of the North British Railway Hotel, and the monument to Sir Walter Scott. On the left of the picture is seen part of the Old Town, with the Imperial Crown of St. Giles’s, the spire of the Tolbooth Church, and the dome of the Bank of Scotland, forming a well-assorted trio. Under these, and over the railway, stretches the North Bridge; below lies the Calton Old burial-ground, with its obelisk. In the near foreground of the picture is a rustic stone seat much used by weary sightseers.]
