Maps can tell much about the story of a place that traditional histories fail to communicate. This is particularly true of Edinburgh, one of the most visually stunning cities in Europe and a place rich in historical and cultural associations. This book features 80 maps of Edinburgh which have been selected for the particular stories they reveal about different political, commercial and social aspects. Together, they present a fascinating insight into how Edinburgh has changed and developed over the last 500 years, and will appeal to those with an interest in Edinburgh and Scottish history, as well as other audiences - those interested in urban history, architectural history, town planning and the history of cartography.
