Description
Set in 66 Queen Street, Edinburgh's New Town, this book tells the story of people and events associated with the house for 210 years, from 1790. It explores how the Scottish Enlightenment shaped the lives of its diverse characters, who range from heroes to villains.
The story reflects on how our modern world is formed, focusing on the people behind it - some masters of their circumstances, others prisoners of circumstance. The result is a nuanced portrayal of life in 18th-century Scotland, where intellectual and professional pursuits thrived alongside moral complexity.
