A Coloured Plan, or Bird's Eye View, of the Town of Edinburgh
View through Europeana Collections
This birds-eye view of Edinburgh shows the Royal
Mile between the landmarks of Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of
Holyrood, which is annotated ‘the kyng of skotes palas’. English
and Scottish topographic mapping developed differently and this map
of Edinburgh was actually made by the English who attacked
Edinburgh between 1544 and 1547. English troops can be seen
marching in formation with the English flag. The campaign occurred
because the Scots broke their promise to allow Mary Queen of Scots
to marry Henry VIII’s son and heir Prince Edward. Significant
destruction was caused to Edinburgh and much of southern Scotland.
The campaign was led by Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford and 1st
Duke of Somerset who had risen in Royal favour after his sister
Jane married Henry in 1536.
