More of a history than a guidebook (though it is organized by sections of town and describes famous sites and buildings), this is a delightful introduction to Edinburgh's people, events, places, culture, stories, and monuments. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Donald Campbell is a poet, playwright and theater historian who has lived in Edinburgh all his working life.
Donald Campbell has undertaken a vast task and has achieved his purpose with clarity and brevity, and also with wit and compassion which is a much less common combination. The result is not a history of Edinburgh, though there is a good deal of that, of course, but a study of the cultural and literary aspects of the city. (The Scots Magazine) As a poet, playwricht, theater historian an umwhyle editor o "Lallans" magazine, it wad be ill to finnd oniebodie better suitit to wryte a wark like this.

Even the braw new Parliament biggin is daelt wi, tho this epic haes yit ti be played oot til the end.(Lallans magazine)
