Annotation in the volume identifies the Royal Scottish academy to the left and a statue of Allan Ramsay to the right.
Construction of the Mound was begun in the 1760s by the tailor George Boyd to give him better access to his clients in Edinburgh's New Town from his Old Town shop. Large amounts of waste material from the development of New Town was added to 'Geordie Boyd's Mud Brig' creating a substantial link road.
