This film is based on the first Edinburgh home of Allan Ramsay. His children were all born here, including his son, namesake, and portrait artist.
Following the Ramsay family, 153 High Street was divided and became commercial outlets.
153 High Street, Edinburgh was demolished in 1899.
*This short film on Allan Ramsay’s house begins with the publication of Itinerarium Septentrionale by Alexander Gordon [known to his friends as ‘Singing Sandy’]. To play this film please click on this image of Allan Ramsay:
