Photo image of Old Mortality, why is it blue when the monument is not blue
[edit]The large photo of the figure of Old Mortality on the monument to Scott in Edinburgh is very blue. From what photos I can find online, the monument in Edinburgh is not blue. I see that the photo was taken by an editor who shared it with the article. Was the photo altered to show blue? If so, could it be shown as one might see it in person, like the image used in the article about the novel Ivanhoe? --Prairieplant (talk) 06:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- All buildings in Edinburgh used to be black, due to the smoke of Auld Reekie. Many public buildings were subjected to a severe scouring after the Clean Air Acts of the 1950s and a few emerged as red, light grey or even white: but none turned out to be blue underneath.
