"Edinburgh, the capital City of Scotland, is pleasantly situated upon a Hill in the Northern Part of the County Mid-Lothian, about two Miles besouth the noble Estuary the Frith of Forth, in the fifty fifth Degree and fifty five Minutes of Northern Latitude, and of Longitude, three Degrees West from London. And, at certain Distances from it, by the Hills of Pentland, Corstorphine, Caldton, Arthur's-seat, and Salisbury craigs. placed as it were by Nature, as so many Fences against the impetuous Blasts of violent Storms of Wind from the South-west, West, North-west, North-east and South-east. which often rage to a great Degree in these Parts." -- William Maitland, The History of Edinburgh from its Foundation to the present time, 1753
