This work was first published in 1886 to accompany one of the more
eccentric displays at the Edinburgh International Exhibition of the
same year. Historically accurate reconstructions of noteworthy but
long-demolished Edinburgh buildings were built side by side to
create a fictional street. This guide provided visitors with key
historical information relating to the recreated buildings and
monuments ranging from the medieval market cross to the historic
tolbooth. Fact is combined with anecdote, situating the buildings
in the wider context of Edinburgh's rich history. The text was
written by John Charles Dunlop and Alison Hay Dunlop, antiquarian
siblings little known beyond their Edinburgh circles. Of particular
interest are the illustrations by William Fergusson Brassey Hole
(1846-1917), who later painted the murals in the entrance hall of
the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
