Stevenson walks his reader through the city of his birth, from the tall lands of the Old Town and the Parliament Close to Greyfriars churchyard, the New Town, the villa suburbs and the view from Calton Hill. He mixes local legend and Covenanter history with frank complaints about one of the vilest climates under heaven.

A short, beautifully written companion for anyone who loves Edinburgh or Stevenson. Download the free EPUB.
