Just to prove this blog spares no effort and expense in its bid to bring you the very best of literary tourism. Here, from a recent trip to Edinburgh, are some pictures of Scotland Street – the location of the serial novel being written by Alexander McCall Smith and published in The Scotsman newspaper.
The street itself turns out to be in a residential suburb just north of the city centre and the numbers actually run out, I would estimate, somewhere in the mid-thirties. Still, even knowing this, I was rather disappointed to walk through Drummond Place and not encounter a dog named Cyril with a gold tooth who winked at me…
