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.
Trinity College Church was established in 1460 on a site close to where Waverley Station now stands. It was dismantled in 1848 by the North British Railway Company, and rebuilt twenty four years later in its present location on Jeffrey Street.
