Edinburgh's great buildings, including the Scott Monument he designed, are the subject of the prints associated with George Meikle Kemp, who lived from 1795 to 1844 and worked as an architectural draughtsman as well as an architect. Alongside the Scott Monument itself are the Royal Institution, now the Royal Scottish Academy, and later published views of St Giles, the National Monument and the city from near Arthur's Seat. Some impressions were published as late as the 1860s, well after his death.
