Edinburgh Reflections
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, has a dramatic cityscape and its wealth of historic streets and buildings make up the UNESCO Old and New Towns World Heritage Site. The city has also been subject to a myriad of changes through the years. This book features several landmark buildings but concentrates attention on areas which have been subject to change through redevelopment. Edinburgh Reflections features a collection of historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal how the area has changed over the decades. Each of the 180 pictures in this book combines a recent colour view of Edinburgh with the matching sepia archive scene. Through the split-image effect, readers can see how streets, buildings and everyday life have been transformed with the passing of time. This book will be of interest to residents, visitors, local historians, and all those with links to Edinburgh.

'There is no shortage of books about Edinburgh, but "Edinburgh Reflections" is a very worthwhile addition to the bookshelf that does bring something different to a visitor's - or resident's - perceptions of this great city.'--Undiscovered Scotland, June 2024
