[1128] Italian visions of Edinburgh
In January 2016, Scran hosted three students from the Istituto Pavoniano Artigianelli per le Arte Grafiche in Trento, Italy. As first-time visitors to Scotland, they were given an assignment to photograph Edinburgh and Glasgow from their own, personal point of view. While they naturally gravitated to some of the better-known landmarks of the cities, such as Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat, they also found time to visit Portobello, the Botanic Gardens and anonymous streets in the capital. The photographs that they compiled show their individual viewpoints, and they each captured some striking and unusual images.
