Synopsis

Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote of Edinburgh: And yet the place establishes an interest in people s hearts; go where they will, they find no city of the same distinction. Despite being written some one hundred years ago, these words are still an apt description of the city. Today, Edinburgh is a modern capital with an international reputation, though it still retains its important links with the past. From the jumble of its medieval Old Town and Castle, to the elegant order of its Georgian New Town, the historic character of the city survives. With its striking architecture and countless vistas of sea and hills, Edinburgh is also one of Europe's most beautiful cities. This personal portrait contains Colin Baxter's most distinctive photographs of Edinburgh. In all lights and colours, from dawn to dusk, and throughout the seasons, this original collection serves as a memorable appreciation of a timeless city.
