Edinburgh: The Autobiography by Alan Taylor

Edinburgh: The Autobiography by Alan Taylor

This is a brilliant, eclectic and colourful celebration of the history of Edinburgh through the eyes of those who witnessed it. Not simply a book about the great and good, the famous and infamous; there is testimony from ordinary folk who may not have made their mark on history but who have contributed to Edinburghs ever-expanding tapestry.
