Where else can you learn about all of Edinburgh's history but still find out fun facts such as: the King who made a boy learn to talk like a seagull; the social network of Bonnie Prince Charlie; and a break-dancing philosopher?

Which other history book can teach an Edinburgh local about the history of their city, yet also can allow a language learner to practise their grammar?

Where better to find beautiful photos of Scotland's capital, fun illustrated stories about Edinburgh's past and great illustrations all in one place?
