The project combines cutting-edge CGI techniques with historic sources - maps, plans, prints and written records - to create photorealistic images of 1700s Edinburgh.

Click on the categories below to explore different aspects of Edinburgh before the Act of Union. And check out the blog below to follow how the project develops.
