English: This panoramic view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill to the North was probably drafted around 1690. The engraved version here was dedicated to Queen Anne and is referred to as the 'Queen Anne View'.

Edinburgh appears here as a long single street, sloping right to left from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood. Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat are in the left background.
Some of the buildings that dominate the skyline still survive today. To the right of the palace we see Queensberry House (T-shaped), Canongate Church and (with a conical spire) Canongate Tolbooth. The crown spire near the castle belongs to St Giles Cathedral. To the left of it is the spire of the Tron Church.
In the lower right foreground, beside Trinity College Church, is the Edinburgh Physic Garden, which had been recently founded. Below the castle is Nor' Loch.
This view was not included in Theatrum Scotiae until the 1719 edition.
