About this book
Edinburgh's three hills, harsh weather and old buildings fill the opening chapter of these picturesque notes by Robert Louis Stevenson. He places the city above a windy estuary, grumbles about its climate, and contrasts the feeling it inspires with the one Venice does. He also describes the great bridge joining the New Town with the Old, and Holyrood Palace, left standing among breweries and gas works. Stevenson was himself born in the city.
