The Pocket Guide to Edinburgh's Best Buildings by Robin Ward

As a world heritage site and one of the most visited cities in the world, Edinburgh boasts a huge range of buildings from all periods and in many different styles. In this book, architectural writer Robin Ward introduces 300 of the city’s most fascinating places, from imposing public buildings such as galleries, museums, banking halls, churches and theatres to pubs, domestic dwellings, monuments and industrial architecture. Conveniently grouped by location, all areas of the city are covered, including suburbs. All are accessible by walking, cycling, public transport or car.

'a celebration of the city’s built environment, from the medieval Old Town to the Georgian New Town, via the Greek Revival monuments on Calton Hill and all the funny wee buildings that can be discovered along wynds and closes'

-- Gaby Soutar * Scotsman Magazine *

'a brilliant comprehensive collection of some of Edinburgh’s finest architecture, fully-illustrated with vibrant colour photographs'

-- Kerry Teakle * The Edinburgh Reporter *

'While a concise guide, the publication reaches far and wide to illustrate the city's architectural merit'

-- Alison Campsie * The Scotsman *
