| Description | Scotsmen are proud to speak of Edinburgh as the modern Athens; and, indeed, few cities have a better title to enter into rivalry with the ancient and famous capital of Greece. The beauty of its situation, the interest of its public buildings, its historic associations, and, above all, its long record of intellectual activity, combine to make Edinburgh one of the most notable, as it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, capitals of the world. Our illustration shows us the CftStle grounds, the National Gallery, and the Royal Institution in the foreground; the lofty Scott Memorial in the centre; the Melville Column on ths left; and in the background are to be s=en the Calton Prison, the Calton Hill with its monuments, and on the extreme right the Royal Bank of Scotland. | ||
