Celebrating its 900th year, Edinburgh is an unrivalled theatre of story.

Through its nine official centuries Edinburgh has thrived on books, words and ideas. Everyone who loves Edinburgh will love Donald Smith’s exploration of this storied town, as will anyone interested in how place shapes people  and people, place.
