LINK ON THE BLINK – A SOLUTION

Submitted by Editor on

In Issue 214, published yesterday, we drew attention to a wonderful picture of Greenside and Broughton by the Scottish photographer George Washington Wilson (right): 'Edinburgh from the Calton Hill Looking to Granton'.

Many rarely seen glimpses of north Edinburgh can be picked out in the zoomable image, and we hope fresh interest in the artist may trigger a revival of ginger sideburns in the city.

Unfortunately, some readers are encountering problems with the printed hyperlink to Aberdeen University's online copy of the plate.

The simplest way around this difficulty is to Google "George Washing Wilson Collection University of Aberdeen", and then to search for Granton. Happy browsing!
