Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox World's Fair The International Exhibition of Industry, Science and Art was a World's fair[1] held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1886.[2]

Summary

The exhibition was held in The Meadows.[3] It was opened on 6 May by Prince Albert Victor[4] and ran to 30 October, occupied 30 acres, had 2,770,000 visits and made £5,555 profit.[2]

Exhibits

Exhibits included an Old Edinburgh Street exhibit which included reconstructions of, by then, demolished buildings of the Royal Mile including the Netherbow Port;[5] Czech violins; Turkish embroidery; and Scotch whisky.[4] Neilson and Company of Glasgow exhibited the Caledonian Railway Single steam locomotive.

Perth's Magnus Jackson was awarded the bronze medal and diploma of merit for his photographs of ferns and foxgloves.[6]

Legacy

The Zetland and Fair Isle exhibit gave Edinburgh city whale jawbones which formed an arch on Jawbone Walk.[7] The jawbones were removed for restoration in 2014 due to deterioration and lack of maintenance. The Brass Founders' Pillar from the Exhibition was moved from the Meadows to Nicolson Square.
