Edinburgh is a city of drama and celebrations, high culture and Scottish heritage. Yet, as Donald Campbell reveals, there are many other dimensions to this fascinating meeting-place of Protestantism and bohemianism. Exploring the social and literary history of an ever-changing metropolis, he also looks at Edinburgh's lesser-known landmarks, ranging from its historic heart to the drug-ridden suburbs. An insider's view of a contradictory city, this book shows the many faces of Edinburgh past and present--from the Royal Mile to the port of Leith. Donald Campbell is a poet, playwright, and theater historian who has lived in Edinburgh all his working life.
