In October, I collaborated with pupils from St.Thomas of Aquin's who worked on a class project presentation, a day in history for kids where they learned about the Old and New Town of Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city. The house history project was produced in association with Edinburgh World Heritage who were behind the event. The filming took place at Gladstone's House on the famous Royal Mile Scotland which stretches between the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle to the foot where the Scottish Parliament building is located as well as Holyrood Palace, UK.
I put together this video perhaps as travel guides with bits and bobs of footage left over from the shoot so I decided to have some fun editing and came out with this, nothing special. I edited the video using Sony Vegas and applied a Black and White colour effect to create a feeling of being in the 17th century to add a slight illusion that we're not in present time. I tried to convey this by featuring music only rather than noisy traffic which would have made the video feel less atmospheric.
Gladstone's land in British history within the United Kingdom dates back to the 17th century and makes it onto the list of Edinburgh places to visit.
The Royal Mile Edinburgh is the center of activity during the summer months of June, July and August as thousands of tourists visit the city where the High Street becomes crowded with street performers and entertainment acts which is where Gladstone House is situated.
Here's some history on Gladstone's Land, one of the places to visit in Edinburgh. It is one of the few surviving 17th century high tenement houses located in the old town of Edinburgh. The National Trust for Scotland has been responsible for the restoration of the site which currently operates as a tourist attraction located at .
The land also known as being listed as part of the Lawnmarket was build originally in 1550 but redeveloped in 1617 by Thomas Gledstanes, an Edinburgh Merchant. Work wasn't completed until 1620. The positioning of the house in relation to the castle and palace showed how wealthy he was. Not only this but he rented out specific rooms for the different social classes which visitors now can see with their own eyes, getting a taste of the variety of life living in Edinburgh.
In 1934, it was scheduled for demolition which is when the National Trust stepped in to help. Today, you can see open fires, a lack of running water along with period decoration and furniture.
Another interesting feature of the building to look out for when you are on a tour in Edinburgh is a sign which hangs outside, dating back to 1617 which features a gilt copper hawk with outstretched wings. The importance of this is that the name, Gledstone comes from the Scottish word, gled meaning a hawk.
Mid 18th century came along and life in the Edinburgh Old Town was no longer popular which prompted the swift construction of the new town of Edinburgh. An alternative tourist attraction to compliment this one is the Georgian House at Charlotte Square, why not take a look yourself and find out about the family background of living in a house Georgian to look at the Georgian architecture.
Going back to the Royal Mile, the best way of describing it would be that the streets form most of the Mile, consisting of many a close, narrow walkways which connect the streets to the houses and other streets. It is a mile long in length running between the two biggest focal points of history of Scotland, from the Castle of Edinburgh to Holyrood Abbey. The names of the streets which form the mile from the West to the East are called the Castle Esplanade, Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate and Abbey Strand. The only streets to oppose the uniqueness of the Royal Mile is Princes Street in the New Town sector.

Edinburgh is Scotland's compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials.
Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and one of its 32 local government council areas. Located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore, Edinburgh is Scotland's second most populous city and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is home to the Scottish Parliament and the seat of the monarchy in Scotland. The city is also the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. It is the largest financial centre in the UK after London.
Historically part of Midlothian, the city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, the sciences and engineering. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of four in the city, was placed 17th in the QS World University Rankings in 2013 and 2014. The city is also famous for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. The city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most popular tourist destination after London, attracting over one million overseas visitors each year. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town, built in the 18th century. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999.
Situated in Scotland's Central Belt, Edinburgh lies on the Firth of Forth's southern shore. The city centre is 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) southwest of the shoreline of Leith and 26 miles (42 km) inland, as the crow flies, from the east coast of Scotland and the North Sea at Dunbar.[56] While the early burgh grew up near the prominent Castle Rock, the modern city is often said to be built on seven hills, namely Calton Hill, Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart Hill, Braid Hill, Blackford Hill, Arthur's Seat and the Castle Rock
Edinburgh Airport is Scotland's busiest and biggest airport and the principal international gateway to the capital, handling around 11 million passengers in 2015. Travel in Edinburgh is undertaken predominantly by bus. Lothian Buses operate the majority of city bus services within the city and to surrounding suburbs, with the most routes running via Princes Street. Services further afield operate from the Edinburgh Bus Station off St Andrew Square and Waterloo Place and are operated mainly by Stagecoach, Scottish Citylink, National Express Coaches, First Scotland East & Perryman's Buses. Edinburgh Waverley Station is the second-busiest railway station in Scotland, with only Glasgow Central handling more passengers.
