A Walk around the City Walls

The Walk

In its Centenary Year, 2008, the Old Edinbrugh Club arranged a conducted walk around the walls of the city of Edinburgh. 

This followed the route taken, exactly a hundred years earlier, on a walk organised by the Survey Section of Edinburgh Photographic Society in which members of the the Old Edinburgh Club were invited to participate.

The Photo
