-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
