Overview
Edinburgh has always been a city of unusual characters and its own often peculiar history. Quirky Edinburgh delves into lesser known but fascinating tales from Edinburgh’s past. In it readers will find stories of the sedan chairs that transported the gentry around the city in the eighteenth century, horse racing on Leith Sands, the open air Royal Patent Gymnasium that delighted its Victorian visitors with rides on the Great Sea Serpent and Giant See-Saw, an exploding post box, the 80-foot spiral of kinetic art placed on a roundabout, the original Mrs Doubtfire and much, much more.
Quirky Edinburgh celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Edinburgh and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Edinburgh will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the city’s quirky history.
