Description: Edinburgh has long had a proud and distinctive identity as the capital city of Scotland. Throughout its history it has been renowned as a home of science, education, literature and culture, and today the city hosts the world-famous Edinburgh Festival every year. It's the home of the Scottish Parliament and is a leading financial centre. Its beautiful architectural heritage, with the medieval Old Town alongside the elegant Georgian New Town, is matched by its remarkable natural setting, with the skyline of the city dominated by the extinct volcano of Arthur's Seat. In this book local author Lisa Sibbald takes the reader on a fascinating A-Z tour of the city's history, exploring its streets and byways, to tell the story of its buildings, places and people along the way. Fully illustrated throughout, A-Z of Edinburgh will appeal to all those with an interest in the capital city of Scotland.

    Description: Gallery Director, artist and teacher Richard Demarco was in at the very start of the Edinburgh Festival in August 1947. Born at the beginning of that same year, Roddy Martine's involvement commenced in 1963 when, at the age of sixteen, he edited an Edinburgh Festival magazine. Therefore both Richard and Roddy have highly individual memories of the most remarkable international festival of the arts the world has ever known. At the same time, both have witnessed its evolution from the noble vision of its founders. Now in its seventy-sixth year, can the Edinburgh Festival survive? Demarco's Edinburgh will be a hit with any Edinburgh Festival regular, newbie or on-and-off visitor. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about the modern history of Edinburgh or the world of the arts, given the central role the festivals hold in the culture of both.
