EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, during a bygone era. The scene unfolds before Allan Ramsay's shop, a historic establishment that once stood at the heart of this iconic street. Allan Ramsay (1686-1758) was a renowned Scottish poet, essayist, and, intriguingly, a wigmaker. His shop, however, is not to be confused with his house, which was located on Castle Hill. The cobblestone road is filled with the sounds, sights, and smells of a vibrant Victorian-era community. Italianate buildings with ornate facades and colorful shop windows line the street, housing a diverse array of businesses. A sweet confectionery, a tobacco shop, an ice cream parlor, and a barber salon can all be seen, each contributing to the rich tapestry of life in this bustling thoroughfare. A horse-drawn cart makes its way up the incline, its wheels clattering against the cobblestones, while pedestrians navigate the narrow pavement, their attire reflecting the fashion of the time. A pole adorned with bunting and flags adds a celebratory touch to the scene, while the steps leading up to a warehouse suggest the area's commercial importance. The photograph transports us back to a time when the Royal Mile was a hub of activity, where people from all walks of life came together to shop, socialize, and enjoy the sweet treats on offer. This image offers a glimpse into Scotland's rich history and the charm of Edinburgh's Old Town.
