Second Annual Competition of the Edinburgh and Midlothian Rifle Association, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Second Annual Competition of the Edinburgh and Midlothian Rifle Association, [Scotland], 1862. The ranges this year were on a lower level, and consequently less exposed to the gusts of wind which on the former occasion proved so detrimental to the success of many competitors, while one of them - that for the competition at 600 yards - was sheltered by trees on each side, the marksmen firing, as it were, along a broad avenue...The entrances for visitors and competitors were from the road leading from Morningside to the Braid Hills, and a temporary wooden box, to serve the purpose of an office for the ticket collector, for keeping the scores, &c. was erected at the northern entrance. From a flagstaff hoisted at each gable of this erection fluttered & union jack, and a blue flag with the arms of the city of Edinburgh in one corner and the word "Welcome" traced across it in large white letters. The Royal standard was set up on the summit of Blackford Hill, and at various points there were danger-flags hoisted to warn off strangers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
