About the piece
Painted in 1858 by David Roberts, this grand landscape offers a sweeping vista of Edinburgh from the vantage point of Calton Hill. The composition masterfully guides the eye from the classical Dugald Stewart Monument across the spires of the Old Town to the formidable silhouette of Edinburgh Castle, all under a vast and luminous Scottish sky.
