This image comes from 'Modern Athens', a book of engravings based on drawings by Thomas Shepherd published in 1829. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Edinburgh was growing rapidly. The popular neoclassical architectural style of the time was inspired by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and Edinburgh was nicknamed 'Athens of the North'. Shepherd's engravings celebrate the beauty of Edinburgh and show many notable buildings and streets both within the city, and further afield.
The Chapel of Ease was built on Chapel Street in 1754 as an extra worship space to accomodate the growing population within the parish of St Cuthbert's in Edinburgh. It was renamed Buccleuch Parish Church and closed in 1969. It is now used by the University of Edinburgh for storage.
