The image captures a breathtaking view of Edinburgh Castle from Princes Street, perfectly encapsulating the city's allure. Measuring at an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this poster transports us back in time when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but also an experience filled with wonder and excitement.

The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to every element - from the bustling streets below to the grandeur of Edinburgh Castle itself.
