Alan Taylor: Edinburgh in its Own Words
Sponsored by

Edinburgh and the literary tradition go together hand-in-glove, and with Edinburgh: The Autobiography, writer and editor Alan Taylor draws together the story of our 900-year-old capital as told by those who have written about it - writers including Walter Scott, Ian Rankin, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, and Muriel Spark (who called it 'the city of Calvinism, high teas, and loveless alliances'). Hear Taylor talking about this compelling urban portrait today. Chaired by Mike Wade.
