In a YouTube video uploaded by The Time Travel Artist, viewers are taken right back to 1750 - before the Nor Loch was drained and all that stood of Edinburgh were some humble homes.
Beginning in 2022, we are slowly taken back in time before The Balmoral - which began construction in 1896. The Scott Monument and Waverley Bridge quickly disappear, both built in the 1840s.
This leaves us with a view of Calton Hill in the Georgian Era, where we see the previous North Bridge - which was built between 1763 and 1772. Finally, we’re back in 1750 - before Princes Street Gardens were created, left with an Edinburgh that resembles a small countryside village.
