A historic black-and-white photograph, tinted green, showing a narrow alleyway in old Edinburgh. A young boy leans against a weathered stone wall, dressed in vintage clothing and wearing a cap, while a man stands further down the alley. Clothes hang from lines above, adding to the atmosphere of a bygone era.

A historical black-and-white engraving depicting Nor Loch in Edinburgh before it was drained. The scene features a vast body of water stretching beneath a stone bridge, with Calton Hill and its monuments visible in the background. In the foreground, people are engaged in daily activities—washing clothes, tending to livestock, and transporting goods with horse-drawn carts. The image captures the bustling, yet rough and industrial, life of Edinburgh in earlier centuries.

John Knox House and the surrounding streets are frozen in time. No known author or exact year—any guesses based on the fashion?

A historical black-and-white photograph of John Knox House and the surrounding area. People dressed in late Victorian or early Edwardian attire walk along the cobbled streets, while children gather near a cart vendor selling fish and chips for 2 pence. The storefronts display old signage, capturing a glimpse of daily life from a bygone era.
