This book revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from Edinburgh's fascinating history, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Edinburgh diary—with an entry for every day of the year. From the important decisions that have molded the city's very appearance, to the "white elephants" that promised much but faded into obscurity; from famous events and sporting triumphs to near-farcical court cases—here are the people, crimes, pollution, crises, murders, battles, strikes, pubs, tragedies, scandals, newspapers, bands, soccer players, politicians, and royals that have shaped this incredible city's history. Edinburgh is a city of culture, music, and innovation, a city of sport and new beginnings, a city of education and spirituality. Read Edinburgh On This Day, and you'll discover hundreds of things you never knew you needed to know about Scotland's historical, mysterious, and inspirational capital.
