Poetry and Prose Inspired by Scotland's Capital City

Scotland's capital city has inspired artists, writers and
musicians around the world. Its long literary history is

monuments.

This landmark anthology showcases Edinburgh in the 
modern day, with poems and short stories inspired by its
 renowned and lesser-known locations. It contains pieces 
from more than eighty contemporary writers, including 
Jane Yolen, Harry Josephine Giles, Marjorie Lotfi Gill, 
James Gao, Christine De Luca, Andy Jackson, Bashabi
 Fraser, Hamish Whyte, Janette Ayachi, Miriam Gamble,
 Ryan Van Winkle, Snigdha Koirala and Colin Will.

This is a collection that celebrates the diversity of
 Edinburgh and the city's enduring inspiration for visitors 
and locals alike. Take it on a walk and see this iconic city
 through new eyes...
