View of "old" Yester House, the Avenue, High
Street and Main Street
from a painting of c1700.
At this time the main Edinburgh Road ran down what is now Station Rd.
It must have been quite an exercise to
envisage & paint an aerial view of the village
Hot air balloons didn't come into use until 1782 so the artist has used
great skill
to portray the perspective of the scene.
