"A resounding success as a guidebook because it takes the reader far beyond the visitor attractions that appear in just about every guide to the city." -Ken Lussey in Undiscoveredscotland.co.ukExplore Edinburgh’s volcanic geography, ancient alleys and architectural modernism with this bestselling guidebook to the Scottish capital. Secret gardens and haunted theatres, mysterious monuments and unexpected underworlds, industrial relics and unusual places of worship. From crumbling castles and historic churches to an Art Deco petrol station and a modern library for poets. Locations include the Innocent Railway, South Street Vaults, the Craigentinny Marbles, and a Scottish Acropolis. Also coffee with Harry Potter, the Arthur’s Seat Coffins, Trainspotting in Leith, and the Skating Minister. The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city. Published by The Urban Explorer, these city tales from new and unusual perspectives are aimed at independent cultural travellers.
