This photograph of the 49th Edinburgh Boys Brigade was taken in 1907. 

Do you recognise the buildings in the background?  If so, can you please email me?     Thank you.

Phil Wilson

Aberdeen

Thank you to Phil WIlson (Aberdeen) for telling me that he has enlarged the photograph above and believes that behind the low building, he sees the replica of 'Cleopatra's Needle'  in Waterloo Place

At the extreme right of the picture I see what appears to be the silhouette of the Nelson Monument on Calton Hill.

With this information, Phil has consulted old maps and concludes that the photo is likely to have been taken near Calton Hill "in the Public Gardens just next to Abbeymount, or somewhere around there". 

This is not far from where the  49th Edinburgh Boys' Brigade troop would have been based in the Canongate.

"I can confirm this view is looking towards the old cemetery at Lasswade. Where the boys are seated a new church was built, but it has now gone.

William Drummond Memorial

The building on the right of the photo at the top of this page is the William Drummond of Hawthornden Memorial.  Above it, is the original cross from a Medieval Hospital that stood near the grounds.  Here is a recent photo that I took of the memorial:

Eldin Aisle

The building on the left, covered in Ivy, is part of the original church built around the mid 13th century called St. Edwin's.  Today it is known as the Eldin Aisle.  Here is a recent photo that I took of the Eldin Aisle
