Half guide book, half social commentary, this volume furnishes an interesting and authentic insight into 'Auld Reekie': the Edinburgh of times past. The chapters of this book include: Introductory, Old Town The Lands, The Parliament Close, Legends, Greyfriars, New Town Town and Country, The Villa Quarters, The Calton Hill, Winter and New Year, and To The Pentland Hills . Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850 - 1894) was a famous Scottish essayist, novelist, poet, and travel writer whose most famous works include "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde."
