Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
The National Library of Scotland on George IV Bridge was designed by Reginald Fairlie. Work began in the 1930's, but the disruption of the Second World War meant that the building was not finished until 1956. The imposing, windowless frontage includes seven figures by the sculptor Hew Lorimer representing 'The Arts of Civilisation'. The library is Scotland's only copyright deposit library.
