The Edinburgh Reporter
Every photograph tells a story
For all of us, 2020 was a year
we want to forget and confine
to history as soon as time and a
Covid-19 vaccine allows.
But there were some bright spots
dotted along the way and The
Edinburgh Reporter was on hand
to report and record the ups and
downs of life in our capital city.
This postcard pictorial captures
some of those moments,
stretching from My Light Shines
On, a spectacular light and laser
show put on by the Edinburgh
International Festival. No less
inspiring was mural artist Chris
Rutterford's project to breathe life
and colour into Colinton Tunnel,
while the Royal Botanic Garden
and Calton Hill proved welcome
break out options for those of us
needing some green space during
months of lockdown.
The Red Arrows honoured us
with a capital flypast, but strangely
one of the biggest attractions
for locals was the opportunity to
visit and photograph deserted
city centre streets which would
normally be overrun by tourists.
