The Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Scotland – 1847 vs. 2021
Seeing an old photo and comparing it to a contemporary shot of the same thing is enchanting. It’s fascinating to notice the shifts in location, but the quality of the photographs may also be quite different, adding a lot to how you feel about each image.
The first photo of the Royal Mile in Scotland is so ancient that it appears like a pencil drawing, but only the paving of the pathways has changed when you compare it with a current-day photograph of Scotland.
