-Old and New Towns

\There once beneath a monarclfs feet

Sat Legislation‘s sovereign powers ! From marking wildly scatter`d flowers,

As on the banks of aye I stray'd, And singing, lone, the lingering love

I shelter’d in thy hoiior’d sliafle.” ‘_

These familiar lines from Robert Burns, he glory and the pride of every son of cotland, recur to the niind as one takes

a strole through the streets of old Edin- burgh. And still another poet, born and bred there, one who made Scotland known to the world and the whole world richer by the work of his genius, is ‘never far from the side of the traveller who has delighted in the prose and the poetry of Sir Walter Scott. Without these two, what would Scotland have been to us? The hills of purple heather, the lonely Highlands glens, the rugged mountains, the beautiful stretches of lakes,the kilted Jocks and the winsome J cans,-do wejnot know them all from the pages of Scott spd Burns i V ~»

It would be impossible in a brief account _

to do any sort of just»icc:to the history, romance, and natural beauties of Edin- burg. Indeed volumes upon volumes have been filled with matter historic and ro-

mantic concerning this ancient city, for

the history of Scotland' is to a large extent- the history of Edinburg, its capital city and chief seat of learning. Here in the days wl e i S :ot-land boasted a dynasty of her own, her kings and queens held court and parliameuts assembled. When we

speak of the romances of this city, what memories rush back upon us of br` th

hates, and all the absorbing, pathetic. sometimes fearful story of our ancestors made us oblivious to the actual present world- Few spots on earth wimessel pageauts more gay and royal; no spots under the sun mcre black andlpiteons mis- fortunes. As with the history and ro- mance, so with the natural endowments of Edinburg-we can only glance at them.

Imagine yourself seated on the summit

of a rock known as Arthur’s seat 800 feet high, which lies east of the town and be- tween _the town and the sea. From this attitude your eye ranges over city and surrounding country, to the shadowy hills inland, to the glistening waters sea' ward. Below this rock is the perpendicu- lar jagged bluff of the Salisbury Crags. Between them and the town lies a deep gorge through which runs amuch fre- quented carriage road. On the further edge of this gorge the city begins. To the

of the Forth narrows as it ascends to the Queensferry Bridge. In the distance

‘ westwaré the dark outlines of the Penh;

J land Hills appear, southward you see the

I Lammermuir Hills, and very dimly across

[the Forth the Ochil Range in Fifeshire.

Directlysouth of the city is a ridge called the Braid Hills. Thus Edinburgh is hem- med .about with mountains and water. As you contemplate the _general aspect 0' and lay of the land, it is impossible not to feel the :great picturequeness and beauty

,_ ofthe scenes. A A-bove the i city, most con-

spicuous feature of all, stands the old

The tall houses of the Old Town are still there, just as they_ have been for so many years. When you see them from Prince Street, as you look across the valley through which runs the railroad. the description of them in Scottie Guy Man- nering is fully realized. The extraordinary height of the houses was marked by lights, which glimmering irregularly along their front, ascended so high among the attics, that they seemed at length to twinkle in the middle sky.
