Here is another postcard
by
Reginald Phillimore - a view looking ot the north down the Vennel towards the
Grassmarket and Edinburgh Castle, beyond.
The grounds of George Heriot's school, formerly
Heriot's Hospital
lie immediately over the wall to the right.
Flodden Wall
The high wall at the right hand side of this
picture is part of the Flodden Wall, built in 1513 after King James IV
of Scotland lost his life at the Battle of Flodden.
As with many other
postcards by Reginald Philimore, a short story and portrait have been added
at the bottom of the picture. In this case, the portrait is of King
James IV.
