Fix this textMAGNIFICENT
Fix this textEDINBURGH has the reputation of
Fix this textbeing one of the most beautiful cities
Fix this textin Europe and it is a place to which, it
Fix this textmay be said, history and romance were
Fix this textdrawn by the beauty of the natural sur-
Fix this textroundings, and between them they have
Fix this textcreated a city that is indeed worthy to
Fix this textbe the capital of Scotland. Since the
Fix this textSecond World War it has added
Fix this textimmeasurably to its reputation by staging
Fix this texteach year, in late August and early
Fix this textSeptember, the International Festival of
Fix this textMusic and Drama which now ranks as
Fix this textthe leading event of its kind in the world.
Fix this textEdinburgh is also remembered as a
Fix this textcity of spires, and three of these belong
Fix this textto the Cathedral of St. Mary which
Fix this textstands at the western end of Melville
Fix this textStreet. It has been described as one of
Fix this textthe finest and largest ecclesiastical
Fix this textbuildings erected in Scotland since the
Fix this textReformation. The Cathedral was built
Fix this textin 1874 to 1879 at a cost of over £lOO,OOO
Fix this textin the Early Pointed Gothic style from
Fix this textdesigns by the famous architect, Sir
Fix this textGilbert Scott.

Fix this textstyle almost universal throughout
Fix this textnorthern Europe, had been developed in
Fix this textBritain and the cathedrals were beginning
Fix this textto assume the characteristics that make
Fix this textthem so easily recognisable today. The
Fix this textmost striking feature of the Gothic style
Fix this textwas the importance given to the towers,
Fix this textof which there were often three as those
Fix this textwhich surmount St. Mary’s Cathedral.
Fix this textThe twin western towers of St. Mary’s
Fix this textCathedra), were not added until 1917,
Fix this text43 years after the building had com-
Fix this textmenced. The height of the great central
Fix this textspire, 276 feet, is longer than the building
Fix this textitself, which is 260 feet. The interior is
Fix this textimpressive in its severity but on one
Fix this textwall hangs a notable religious painting
Fix this textby A. Ek Borthwick which figured in a
Fix this text£30,000 copyright action. The Chapter
Fix this textHouse, added in 1890, contains the
Fix this textWalpole Hall, commemorating the Rt.
Fix this textRev. G. H. S. Walpole, father of the
Fix this textfamous novelist, who was Bishop of Edin-
