The Old Edinburgh Club has published Volume 19 of their Journal for Edinburgh History which is available now.
In this volume readers will learn about the goings on at Georgian Edinburgh’s Stamp Office, a Napoleonic War veteran’s contribution to the cityscape, the demise of a Jacobite from Leith, Victorian government funding for Scotland’s metropolis and church seat rents and their contribution to the city’s finances.
Wilson Smith, Editor of the Journal said: “”There really is something for everyone with an interest in the history of our city in the Book of the Old Edinburgh Club. The latest issue confirms our commitment to high quality research, attractively presented. The Book of the Old Edinburgh Club continues to be an essential source for all aspects of Edinburgh history.”
The Old Edinburgh Club says the Journal now confirms its place as the authoritative voice on Edinburgh history. The club is Edinburgh’s local history society, and is concerned with all aspects of the city’s history and development.
For more than one hundred years it has encouraged interest through lectures, visits and projects. It publishes The Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, renowned as an authoritative source for residents and researchers alike. Membership is open to all, whether living in Edinburgh or further afield.
