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

Christopher Brookmyre - Quite Ugly One Morning is a great book and set in Edinburgh.
Also "Boiling a Frog". Not quite as good though IMHO.

Isla Dewar write about Edinburgh a lot. Can't think of any titles offhand though.
