This is a great list! đ
Yay, thanks! Any to add?
Yours is very comprehensive already. I see lots of stuff I haven't yet read. There is an anthology I really love that I don't think I saw there. It's called "Children of Albion Rovers" edited by Kevin Williamson. I have a physical copy so I don't know if it's even available digitally or on Pagebound database yet. Its very good. đ
Added! Looking at the synopsis, though, it is hard to tell if any of it actually takes place in Edinburgh. Can you confirm?
Ok. I got it added to Pagebound. I guess I'm not sure if all the stories are Edinburgh specific but I know at least some of them are.
Oh, I just saw this comment after replying to your other one. I'll remove it from the list for now.
I visited Edinburgh at the end of 2020. It is such a beautiful place! I miss it. Following your list is my way of feeling close to it! đ
I used to live there '07-'08 and have had the pleasure of going back a few times (most recently was in '22 I think). I love it.
Great list Kathy. No Iain Banks?
Do you have one in mind that is definitely set in Edinburgh? I've been going through his catalogue and see books set in other Scottish places (or outside of Scotland), but haven't found one definitely set in Edinburgh yet.
Complicity!
And The Bridge is set around the Forth Rail Bridge of course but that's technically outside of Edinburgh.
Added Complicity! Thanks for the confirmation.
