  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Heritage Key, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  Thank you for contributing to the Creative Commons. I have used this picture in my collage, Snippy In Antiquity.
  
  Libraries don't usually have a sense of humour; perhaps the people behind the name do.

Scott Monument, Edinburgh

from Cornell University Library

• Cornell University Library said:

  One viewer sent us the following comment: Hi, Just a note that the photograph of the Scott Monument on your flicr page: Library Accession Number: 15/5/3090.01209b is by Alexander Adam Inglis, who was active as early as the 1870s until the turn of the century with most of his works dating in the 1880s. He became a member of the Edinburgh Photographic Society in 1882. His son, Francis Caird Inglis, and later his grandsons kept the business operating until 1973. He is identified by his distinct monogram.
