Product Description

If you live in Edinburgh, you will already possess a personal stake in this book - within its pages you will be able to find your house, perhaps locate your car parked in the street, trace your route to work, and visit some of your favourite places. On closer inspection you should spot patterns that are invisible from the ground, discover surprising links between unconnected areas, find large areas of greenery that you never knew existed, and explore new neighbourhoods for the first time. The photographic atlas is easy to use. The photography and the cartography share the same standard grid system, meaning you can cross-reference quickly between the two elements; both photography and cartography are "map accurate", as the photography has been geo-corrected, a process that removes the distortions in the original aerial photography; and throughout the whole book the grid interval is 500 metres.

Customer Reviews

Un-put-downable if unusual city guide.
What can I say about this book. If you have never been to the city it would make a most interesting travel guide even if the populus of the city may find you a bit odd. However this book really comes into it's element for anyone who has ever visited or lived in the city. Locate that old school or the dodgy hotel you stayed in over the Festival. More importantly find the route from your favourite pub(s) to your digs and discover the delights that you probably missed. An indispensible, un-put-downable guide to the infamous city and must for any resident or interested visitor.
