EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures a timeless view of the St James Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland, back in 1975. The bustling New Town area is beautifully showcased as it faces westward towards Midlothian. The image, sourced from the Aerofilms Archive at the National Archives of Scotland, offers a unique perspective on this historic city. In the foreground stands Queen Street, adorned with its elegant Georgian architecture and vibrant street life. Just beyond lies the iconic National Portrait Gallery, an architectural gem that showcases Scotland's rich cultural heritage. Further into the distance, we catch a glimpse of the majestic Melville Monument proudly standing tall amidst its surroundings. The print serves as a window to Edinburgh's past and invites us to marvel at how much has changed over time while appreciating what remains constant. It encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone eras and admiration for enduring landmarks that shape our collective memory. As part of Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland's collection, this image provides invaluable insight into urban development and historical preservation efforts within Edinburgh. Its significance lies not only in documenting architectural transformations but also in preserving memories and stories associated with these cherished locations
