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.
