I’m sure we’ve all unearthed a few forgotten treasures from the back of a cupboard, but I doubt many have found anything so spectacular as the photographs of old Edinburgh recently discovered inside a shoebox. Taken by Robert Blomfield between

Having lived in the capital as student, I found the images breathtaking and nostalgic, and loved trying to figure out where in the city’s cobbled streets they were taken. It also made me wonder what people might think of my old family albums if they were discovered in 50 years’ time.
