Edinburgh: World City of Literature

kathleen writes “A map of Edinburgh featuring places connected with famous books and authors has been drawn up as part of Edinburgh’s World City of Literature status. The map features literary figures and places such as Greyfriars Bobby, Robert Louis Stevenson’s House, the statue of Sherlock Holmes on Picardy Place and one of the cafes where JK Rowling is said to have penned her first Harry Potter book.

Intended to give book lovers a chance to explore the Capital’s rich literary heritage, the map will be launched in time for the Man Booker Prize celebrations being held in Edinburgh in June.”
