Curious Edinburgh

A guide to more than 100 of the curious and interesting corners of Edinburgh, Curious Edinburgh explores the hidden treasures of Scotland’s capital city and unlocks the forgotten meaning of landmarks that have become familiar. It tells the reader how to find and understand the city’s nooks and crannies, and includes information on the location of and access to all the sites covered. Symbols such as the Heart of Midlothian are revealed in all their detail, and neglected jewels such as Edinburgh University’s St Cecilia’s Hall are included. The book is illustrated with more than 120 modern and historic photographs and line drawings.
