This is a place that has been chosen for being very special or important, which people want to protect for everyone to enjoy. Together, they make up the AtlaS.WH partnership which is working together to improve sustainability in the way the World Heritage Sites are looked after. This means doing things in the best way to protect the environment now and in the future. Unscramble the cities and fill in the labels on the map. Use an atlas to help you.

Which sites kept showing up again and again? Many of the views shown in the images and paintings are the same that are found on postcards of Edinburgh. Take a look at these postcards. These postcards all come from different times, but the pictures don’t really change. The sites in these pictures are almost all of the Castle, or the Royal Mile. 12 Wish You Were Here? ACTIVITY RESOURCE Look back at the painting on the left, and compare it with the photo on the right. These two views are almost exactly the same. The photo on the right shows Dumbiedykes, an area at the foot of the Salisbury Crags. Both tell a different story about Edinburgh. Both stories are important to tell. We think that there are many places in our everyday lives that are special enough to be put on a postcard. Is there a special place in Edinburgh that you would like to see on a postcard? Perhaps it’s the park where you play with your friends or the street where you live. Think about which places are important to you and jot them down here: 13 Wish You Were Here?

When you’ve found your perfect view, take a photo or make a quick sketch. You will use this to design your very own postcard. Next, plan your design below. You can write a message on the back about what you have chosen to show. 15 Wish You Were Here? ACTIVITY RESOURCE On this page, make your final design for your postcard.

The 2005 proposal of a dramatic new development intended for an area of the city’s Old Town represents one such project in which many powerful municipal and commercial institutions are invested.

Such a book should be as mxich historical as descriptive. For Edinburgh is not less richly endowed with memories than with beauty ; and its present can be read only in the light of its past. At no time have the builder and improver—those scene-shifters in the drama of modern town life—been busier in sweeping romance, along with stone and lime, into the dust-bin ; and every year familiar features of the streets and closes are drafted from the list of the city's sights into that of the city's memories. The opening of the new North Bridge offers a natural starting-point for the survey and retrospect ; it promises—or threatens—to bring in its train changes almost as great as those that make the construction of the first bridge across the valley between Old and New Edinburg an era in the history of " mine own romantic town." For the illustrations of the volume thanks are due to Mr.
