Duddingston is less than two miles from central Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.  Yet it has its own identity, and in 2019 it celebrates 60 years of its own conservation society.  It has several outstanding grade-A Listed Buildings, including 12th century Duddingston Kirk and 18th century Duddingston House, and a raft of human stories about its residents. 



Duddingston is also home to Scotland’s oldest pub the Sheep Heid, Dr Neils 'secret garden' and Edinburgh’s oldest railway, the Innocent.  Visitors can enjoy the wildlife of Duddingston Loch and its backdrop Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano.  This book shows you how easily it can be explored on foot and by public transport.



With over 180 photographs, a self-guided walking tour map and concise, readable text, this short book will reveal hidden secrets of a part of Edinburgh known to few.

After a long career in education and information technology, Jacquetta became a publisher of books in a new format for long-distance walking and trekking.  She is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild and in 2016 won its Award for Excellence (jointly with Max Landsberg) for their jointly authored guidebook Trek to Everest. She also won the OWPG Digital Award in 2018 for her Scotland's Great Trails website. She has lived in Duddingston since 2013 and created much of the text and most of the images for this book.
