Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

Duddingston is a small village located on the south-eastern edge of Holyrood Park, about three miles from the centre of Edinburgh. It has been incorporated into the City, but retains a village atmosphere and a distinct identity. A church was established here in the 12th century by the monks of Kelso. The Sheep's Heid Inn in the village is one of the longest established in Scotland. Duddingston also has a picturesque loch with a bird sanctuary.

This photograph is very similar to another photograph of Duddingston Village and Loch from the Queen's Drive and is therefore likely to be by Alexander Adam Inglis, too.
