EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charming and historic Swanston Cottage, the beloved home of renowned Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson from 1867 until his departure for Samoa in 1894. Nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by a quaint picket fence, the cottage exudes a sense of tranquility and seclusion, perfect for the creative mind that penned classics such as "Treasure Island," "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and "Kidnapped." Stevenson, who was born in Edinburgh in 1850, spent much of his childhood in Scotland before moving to France and later England. In search of better health, he returned to Scotland in 1880 and found solace in Swanston Cottage, located near the village of Colinton, just south of Edinburgh. It was here that he wrote some of his most famous works, including "A Child's Garden of Verses," which was published in 1885. The Victorian-era cottage, with its distinctive red-roofed gables and whitewashed walls, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Scottish countryside. The fence, adorned with colorful flowers, adds a touch of whimsy and charm to the scene. This photograph, taken between 1867 and 1894, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us to a time when the world's most beloved literary works were brought to life within these very walls. Stevenson's connection to Swanston Cottage is an integral part of Scottish literary history, and the cottage remains a popular tourist destination for fans of his work. The photograph serves as a testament to the power of the written word and the enduring allure of the places that have inspired great artists and thinkers throughout history.
