Bradt Eccentric Guide to Edinburgh
by Benedict le Vay

From the Bradt Eccentric Guides series.

Hot on the heels of Benedict le Vay's successful Eccentric London, this new Bradt mini guide is the essential source on all that is offbeat, bizarre and absurd in the Scottish capital. Where else would you find a pub whose roof is another pub on a different street? Or a town clock deliberately set two minutes fast? Plus, once a year Edinburgh's famous festival attracts a stream of visitors seeking to experience extreme entertainment at its best in a packed program of events.

Take a stroll down the cobbled streets previously trodden by body-snatchers and murderers, followed by a wee dram in their namesake. Climb Arthur's Seat where many a fatal "accident" has occurred. The guide successfully integrates extraordinary facts from Edinburgh's ancient history to the present day, with essential practical information, making it an exceptional read as well as a vital resource for visitors.

This guide features:

  • An Eccentric calendar - a comprehensive guide to all the capital's events, including The Edinburgh Festival
  • Eccentric pastimes, including sporting events, outlandish hobbies and weird museums
  • Day trips to Edinburgh's remarkable surroundings
  • Suggested walks incorporating eccentric highlights
  • Nuts and bolts - the essentials of how to find places and what you can expect to pay
