Informed by on-the-ground research, Herb Lester's handy, folded guides uncover what makes a city special - its most distinctive shops, restaurants, caf©s, bars, museums and galleries, whether unmissable old favourites, exciting new arrivals or overlooked treasures. Each entry comes with its own brief description, and a basic map helps the reader get their bearings and make plans.

Beautiful though it surely is, Scotland's capital has appeal that extends far beyond its elegant fa§ade. Our guide documents wanderings off the well-worn path of the Royal Mile, charting bookshops and butchers, pubs and bakeries, art galleries and gardens. An Edinburgh Companion uncovers the unexpected as well as relishing the traditional, ensuring a trip that goes to the heart of this great city.

Printed on a single sheet of 100% recycled paper, these light, portable guides are an ideal travelling companion.
