A guide to the riches and diversity of the city of Edinburgh. Twenty-five original walks both in and around Edinburgh explore a city of endless variety: from the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle to the grassy hills and valleys beyond, and from ghostly mediaeval closes to enchanting riverside walkways, each tour offers something different. Robin Gauldie provides a personal tour of the city, following bustling thoroughfares and hidden byways, revealing forgotten treasures from centuries past as well as the famous sights. His text offers detail on Scottish history, contemporary life and architecture, and colour photographs in sections throughout the book seek to evoke a true sense of Edinburgh's unique character and beauty. Sights of special interest are highlighted on the easy-to-follow route maps that accompany each walk, and information on public transport, opening times for visitor attractions and bars and restaurants en route is given.
