Edinburgh Street Atlas (A-Z Street Maps & Atlases)

Product Information

The ATLAS Edinburgh group worked on the Higgs boson announced in July 2012. The Higgs boson particle is named afterPeter Higgs, Emeritus Professor at the University of Edinburgh. Peter Higgs and François Englert were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on 8th October 2013, “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles”. Ten years after the discovery of the Higgs boson in July 2022, we celebrated with a public event at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Use controls to display a detailed street map of Edinburgh and get a Edinburgh city centre map showing the St Giles Cathedral, the University of Edinburgh, the National Museum of Scotland, the Calton Old Burial Ground, Holyrood House, Holyrood Park, Edinburgh Rail and Haymarket Rail. At one end of the Gardens, you’ll find the Victorian ‘Gardener’s Lodge’cottage, which looks like something straight out of a fairytale.

Within its magnificent 70 acres are a herbarium with a collection of over three million specimens, Britain's biggest palm house, and a tropical house with exotic orchids. There's also an alpine house; a terraced moorland garden; a heather garden; and an extensive arboretum with rare giant trees from the Himalayas, North America, and China. The star of the show is the Camera Obscura itself. A Victorian ancestor of the modern cameras we use today, it projects an image of Edinburgh onto a large, bowl-shaped screen. It may not sound exciting, but it’s actually quite amazing to witness first-hand! A comprehensive index lists streets, selected flats, walkways and places of interest, place, area and station names. Additional healthcare (hospitals, walk-in centres and hospices) and transport connections (Edinburgh Tramway stops) are indexed as well. The ATLAS Edinburgh group is led by Prof. Phil Clark, Prof. Sinead Farrington, Dr. Yanyan Gao and Prof. Christos Leonidopoulos, and Prof. Victoria Martin. Research interests This was also a time when witch hunts were rampant, and anyone could be accused of witchcraft and burnt at the stake. You can visit the spot at Calton Hill where the burnings took place (which these days is used instead to admire the Edinburgh skyline).No visit to Edinburgh would be complete without a visit to its magnificent Castle, which overlooks the city from atop an extinct volcano. It is, of course, steeped in history. Many exhibitions focus on the long-running Wars of Independence when the Scots fought with the English for control of their country. Edinburgh may seem at times to be two separate cities, so different are the 18th-century New Town's elegant Georgian neighborhoods of stately terraces from the Old Town's narrow winding lanes, steep staircases, and hidden passageways.

This e-Mouse Atlas community provides access to the data underlying the EMA and eHistology atlases including full 3D embryo model data with anatomical segmentation and labelling, high resolution histology images of mouse embryo serial sections and gene-expression mapped data for bioinformatics analysis. Sub-communities within this communityFor a more rustic interpretation of the past, look at the museum’s second model of Edinburgh as it was 500 years ago. This wooden, Victorian-era depiction of the city was displayed at the 1886 International Exhibition of Industry, Science, and Art. You’ll see the Flodden Wall, built in 1513, wrapping around the city. To the north of the Old Town lies a streak of blue representing the Nor’ Loch, an artificial lake that was drained in 1821 during the construction of the Princes Street Gardens. There is so much to see and do in Edinburgh that the choice of where to go and what to skip might be really overwhelming.
