As the story goes...there was a contest open to all to submit a plan for the layout of the town. The plan that was approved had been submitted by a young man,17 years old. Another interesting story is around the statue of a dog, a terrier across from Edinburgh Castle, perhaps outside the cemetary. Put there by Queen Victoria after she heard the dog's tale. a lovely story of loyalty. These stories came to mind with your photograph and perhaps they are in writing somewhere.
Thank you for your lovely photo.
