Feeling terrible nostalgic about this city at the minute, where I spent some of the best years of my life. Am thinking a good read is cheaper than a visit. These are my favourites but have I missed any gems?

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
...Jekyll and Hyde
All Ian Rankin Rebus novels
Anything by Irvine Welsh
One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson

I recently read Scotland Street. Felt it was a bit aimless, didn't tie up. All very nice but...

I'm reading 4th 44 Scotland Street book at the moment. Agh, Irene!

I like the Isabel Dalhousie ones by Alexander McCall Smith as well as the 44 Scotland Street ones. They are very Edinburgh.

Another very good crime series are the Bob Skinner books by Quintin Jardine - almost as good as Ian Rankin.

HTH
