A castellated, stone city draped over a dramatic landscape – travellers have been drawn to the romantic beauty of Edinburgh’s architecture for centuries.

In his new book, Edinburgh: City of Romanticism, historian Aonghus MacKechnie reveals how our capital developed as a hub for writers, poets, artists, and musicians, through the lens of its emblematic architecture that still attracts over four million tourists every year.

A conversation for anyone in love with art, architecture, and Edinburgh itself.
