Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at the Railway Station at Edinburgh, 1850. '...crowds of people assembled, half uttered cheers were heard, the steam was shut off, and...the train was brought to at a private station close to the Queen's-park, and erected expressly for her Majesty's accommodation on her way to Holyrood...The landing platform at the station was covered with crimson cloth. Immediately in the centre is the vestibule leading to the spacious flight of steps by which her Majesty was conducted to the Royal carriage in waiting on the Abbeyhill-road, close by Parsons-green. The vestibule was roofed by an elegant timber canopy, finished in front to resemble festoons of drapery.The roof was finished in the style of an Arabian tent, by graceful festoons of white and pink drapery. The steps, which were divided into two series, were laid with crimson cloth from end to end...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
