About this audiobook
Wander the cobbled, blood-stained streets of a magnificent ancient city, tracing the footsteps of the monumental figures who forged its turbulent history. From fierce monarchs holding court in shadowy castles to fiery reformers shaking the foundations of faith, the dramatic epochs of a proud nation come vividly alive. Unearth the inspiring triumphs and devastating sorrows that are permanently etched into the very stones of the Scottish capital. This evocative chronicle captures the enduring soul of a metropolis that has shaped the course of Western civilization.
