Edinburgh Royal Mile The Royal Mile is a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare of the Old Town of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. The term was first used descriptively in W. M. Gilbert's Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century, describing the city "with its Castle and Palace and the royal mile between", and was further popularised as the title of a guidebook by R. T. Skinner published in 1920, "The Royal Mile Castle to Holyrood". https://www.facebook.com/groups/PaulThompsonPhotography https://www.facebook.com/PaulThompsonPhotography2 https://www.instagram.com/paulthompsonphotography/ https://twitter.com/Paulthompson999 By Paul Thompson Photography

The Royal Mile

The Royal Mile has always drawn me. A mysterious and perpetually shadowy place of ghosts, bloodshed and drama, the embodiment of Scottish history. Decades ago, on summer holidays, tartan-trousered guides, playing to the audience in hammed up accents, to the palace, to the now defunct wax museum and to the Castle, eager for the drama of the one o’clock gun. It was darker then, before the opening of the Scottish Parliament, with the alleys and closes distinctly insalubrious. I still love to venture down here, often a night when the spirits hint at their presence, when the moon hangs over the kirkyards. The work depicts a brightly painted building near the foot of the street. A perfect gift, a great memory of Edinburgh.

Free Church of Scotland Assembly Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland. A 19th century church (also known as St Columba's Free Church), situated just off the Royal Mile at the junction of Castlehill, Johnston Terrace and Upper Bow. Designed by Thomas Hamilton, built between 1843-5 with alterations in 1908 by Thomas Ruskin. An Ecclesiastical building still in use as such. Originally called the Free St John's Church, built immediately after the Disruption of 1843. Hamilton's pulpit was sketched by Ruskin, who thought it an 'abomination.' Burnet's alterations of 1908 were to make the building more suitable for its new use as the Free Church Assembly Hall. Camera: Canon EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi in the USA)
