Vintage Street Photography. Edinburgh Photos. Edinburgh Video Guide: Arthur’s Seat. EDINBURGH Video Guide’s Rury Mason profiles the capital’s awe-inspiring peak Arthur’s Seat.
Arthur’s Seat, situated right at the heart of Edinburgh, is one of the capital’s most iconic landmarks. It is the highest point of a group of hills that sprawl across Holyrood Park, standing at around 822 ft tall at its peak. It is easily accessible via numerous locations, though one of the hill’s most popular walkways is situated near Dunsapie Loch. Many hillwalkers also attempt the ascent via several pathways that face the Scottish Parliament. Arthur’s Seat’s decidedly benign slopes and cliff faces conceal a rather interesting past - one that started about 350 million years ago. Like the rock that props up Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat was once an active volcano. A discovery of 17 miniature coffins on the hill, each containing hand-crafted wooden dolls dressed in custom-made clothes and painted black boots, were found in 1836 by a group of boys.

We made our way into the centre of town, walking up over George Street, named after George III who was the king at the time when it was being constructed. At the centre of the crossroads with Hanover Street is a statue of his son, George IV, who famously visited Edinburgh in 1822. We followed Hanover Street down to Princes Street, crossing over to the corner of West Princes Street Gardens, where there was a good view to Edinburgh Castle over some tulips and past the statue of the poet Allan Ramsay. From the corner of the gardens we climbed up The Mound, an artificial hill linking the New Town and the Old Town. It was constructed with earth removed during the building of the New Town’s foundations in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Picture Gallery - Edinburgh. The Innertube timelapse - life in Edinburgh's fastlane. Edinburgh’s off-street cycle paths run through the city like rabbit warrens – their entrances often difficult to find, taking you down tunnels and paths to unexpected parts of the city.
A path that starts at Haymarket might spit you out at Granton, Leith or Cramond, or you may find yourself whizzing down the Union Canal right out of town. I wanted to capture the sheer energy of the routes, which are used by so many different people in so many different ways – by joggers, cyclists, pedestrians, skateboarders and dog walkers – so over the last couple of months I’ve been out capturing time-lapse films of the routes around the city. It’s not been without its challenges – it’s been the coldest Spring in 50 years, and when I wasn’t being caught in hail storms or struggling to hold my cameras in place, I was sometimes wondering left whether anyone would be out on the paths at all. And yet, irrespective of wind and weather, snow and storms, people use these paths. More news about that soon. WildWorldPics : Hazy purple twilight over...

Pictures of Edinburgh, Capital City of Scotland. Also known as the Athens of the North, Edinburgh is without a doubt one of the most beautiful Capital Cities in Europe.
Its unique skyline and distinctive landmarks can be admired from any of the many high vantage points scattered throughout the city. To be truly representative, a collection Edinburgh photographs should include views of Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town which is why I always recommend photos taken from Calton Hill, Salisbury Crags and the Scott Monument for posters, brochures, guidebooks, calendars and the like. The views from these three magnificent vantage points are unparalleled anywhere else in Edinburgh.
