A mesmerising photo album which features some of the earliest portraits of Edinburgh has been sold at auction for a whopping £85,000.
The album fetched 20 times more than it was estimated to after going under the hammer at Lyle & Turnbull on Wednesday September 28. It was estimated to sell for only £4,000.
Photographs taken by Charles George Hood Kinnear, who was born in Kinloch Fife, feature within the newly discovered collection. Kinnear, who died in 1894 and was considered to be a pioneering photographer and architect, is believed to have taken the salt prints.
