Title
General view looking west from Arthur's Seat over Dumbiedykes towards Edinburgh
Description
The flats of Dumbiedykes lie at the foot of the rocky Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh. Grass and trees surround the tall blocks. Behind them the city spreads out as far as the eye can see. Rising above the general level of the buildings is Edinburgh Castle on the Castle Rock.

Location
Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Dumbiedykes is an area of central Edinburgh bordered by Holyrood Park to the east and Holyrood Road to the north. Today the name most often refers specifically to the housing estate in the area which comprises two tower blocks, Lockview Court and Holyrood Court, and other housing . The area and road take their name from the Academy for the Deaf and Dumb established by Thomas Braidwood around 1764 and closed in 1783.
