A stone courtyard facade beneath the title Stones of Edinburgh.

Stone gives these views of Edinburgh their texture and rhythm. Across the skyline, towers and steep roofs gather above the trees, while bridges and long facades connect one part of the city to another. The photographs then move closer: into a courtyard shaped by repeated windows and arches, and towards an ornate lantern fixed to a rough stone wall. The larger city views and these smaller details share a restrained palette, lifted by green leaves, a bright lawn and touches of gold on the lantern.
