Edinburgh is reputed to have more buildings designated as of 'special
architectural or historic interest' than any other city in the world.
These range from rows of Georgian terraced houses and individual
Victorian tenement blocks to such diverse structures as the diminutive
Greyfriars Bobby sculpture and the Forth Rail Bridge. Many of the
buildings were constructed from sandstone, from a proliferation of local
quarries and which could be found in a variety of different colours. The
city's local transport system has a similarly rich history, and this
book looks to celebrate these two popular elements in the city's
contemporary setting. Featuring unique and previously unpublished images
of Lothian Transport buses sharing the scene with some of these historic
buildings, this book will delight anybody who shares a fondness for Auld
Reekie.
