Rough Guide DIRECTIONS Edinburgh is the perfect companion whether you’re on a week-long break or flying visit to the popular Scottish capital. This full-colour, pocket guide includes 27 themed sections – from Royal Edinburgh and Literary Edinburgh to galleries and museums and traditional pubs.

The main section of the guide: ‘Places’, gives a district-by-district account of the sights, restaurants, shops, transport links and nightlife - all generously illustrated. In addition there is comprehensive festivals coverage. Every listing and review is pinpointed on accompanying user-friendly maps, and the book is richly illustrated with hundreds of specially commissioned photos throughout.
