Memorials of Edinburgh in the Olden Time

Daniel Wilson's 'Memorials of Edinburgh in the Olden Time' (2013) provides a comprehensive historical and archaeological account of Edinburgh, focusing on its built environment and local antiquities. The work, illustrated with engravings based on Wilson's drawings, traces the city's history from earliest times while delving into specific areas of the Old Town. Wilson, a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, contributed significantly to the preservation of historic buildings in Edinburgh through his extensive research and detailed documentation. His enthusiasm for the subject is evident throughout the two-volume work, which remains a valuable resource for understanding Edinburgh's past.
