EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the 'Modern Athenians' series, captures a moment of camaraderie and historical significance in Edinburgh's religious history. Plate 7 of this collection, published in 1839, depicts the Reverend John Hunter (d. 1866) of the Tron Church, extending a warm handshake to his successor, Professor Alexander Brunton (d. 1854). John Hunter, a respected and beloved figure in the city, had served as the minister of the Tron Church for over three decades. Known for his charisma and dedication, Hunter left a lasting impact on the congregation and the community. His tenure was marked by numerous acts of kindness and generosity, including the establishment of a school for the education of the poor. Alexander Brunton, a distinguished scholar and theologian, was appointed as Hunter's successor in 1854. A man of great intellect and wisdom, Brunton was well-equipped to lead the Tron Church into a new era. In this photograph, we see two friends and colleagues, united in their shared commitment to faith and service, bidding farewell to an esteemed predecessor. The Tron Church, an iconic landmark in Edinburgh's Old Town, has played a pivotal role in the city's religious and cultural history. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the enduring bonds that have connected generations of spiritual leaders and their congregations. The photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Edinburgh's vibrant religious landscape.
