The Lothian Cyclist Camera was manufactured by Andrew H. Baird of Lothian Street, Edinburgh, Scotland in circa 1895. It was advertised as a cyclist camera for hand or stand with six novel features. Designed for lady cyclists and tourists who desire a thoroughly efficient and portable instrument when on tour, but who do not wish to be burdened with a heavy field outfit. It was fitted with a variable speed shutter and spring focusing hood. Various lenses were available including a rapid rectilinear lens with waterhouse stops or an iris diaphragm, a London made rectilinear lens or a Ross new formula rapid rectilinear lens. Pricing ranged from £4 4s to £7 15s.
