David Octavius Hill

Appropriate for a photo blog.  D O Hill and his partner, Robert Adamson were early pioneers in photography. This weekend is "Doors Open Day" in Edinburgh and this is the Dean Cemetery.  The bust was sculpted by his wife Amelia Paton who is buried alongside him. The mason seems to have made a mistake with the spelling of his middle name.
