EDINBURGH AT WORK

An exploration of the working life of Edinburgh, from humble beginnings to its current status as the UK's second financial centre, and the fourth largest in Europe. In a fascinating series of contemporary photographs and illustrations the book presents the consequences of rapid urbanisation, the rise in the city's economic fortunes through the nineteenth century, the rapid growth of tourism from the post-war period, the opening of the Scottish Parliament, and the rise from provincial obscurity to international renown as home to the world's largest arts festival.
