Old Photograph Swanston Edinburgh Scotland

Old photograph of Swanston on the South side of Edinburgh, Scotland. Robert Louis Stevenson spent several summers here in the 1870s, as a result of his father taking out a lease for Swanston Cottage from 1867 to 1880. Stevenson set his novel St. Ives in this village, describing the house in detail.
