| adam_text | The late Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman, said
that Edinburgh was the most beautiful city in
Europe. Like some other great cities it is set
on seven hills. But only one of these, Rome,
rivals Edinburgh in matching the beauty of
its setting with the stateliness of its buildings.
A romantic landscape of sea and hills, broad
vistas and hidden corners is embellished by a
style of architecture combining stern classicism
with antiquarian whimsy. Edinburgh, too,
provides the backdrop to much of the dark
drama of the Scottish past, from Mary, Queen
of Scots, to Bonnie Prince Charlie and beyond.
It sets in stone a history shaped by nation,
Union and Empire, but the
1,500
year history
of the city itself deserves wider telling. Long
ruled by a strait-laced professional bourgeoisie,
Edinburgh never suppressed a livelier side,
peopled by figures comic or brutal, eccentric
or gruesome.
Michael Fry, who has lived and worked there
for nearly forty years, provides a compellingly
readable account of this great city, from
the earliest times to the present, balancing
Edinburgh s cultural, political and social
history, and shows how they have borne on
one another. He draws on a wide range of
new, untapped archival sources, especially
private papers and oral records, and paints
a vivid picture of the city of John
Κηοχ
and
James Boswell, of David Hume and Walter
Scott, a city
-
that like Stevenson s
Dr Jekyll
-
is both dark and light, both Auld Reekie
and the Athens of the North .
Michael Fry is a historian and writer who
lives and has worked in Edinburgh since
1970.
Since
1988
he has published seven books on
Scottish history, each of which has overthrown
some cherished myth.
