Edinburgh lamps

Lamps are very much a feature of old Edinburgh, providing essential illumination as well as being a decorative element. With a range of lantern designs and some fine wrought ironwork, they are items of beauty in their own right, and also collectively where they help to accentuate the rhythym of long historic frontages. They are seen at their best just as the daylight is fading, and can also look impressive when seen through rain or mist.
