Edinburgh doesn’t lend itself to literature, but it lends itself to death. I have lived here five years and have yet to name it in my writing, or use it to an identifiable specificity.
Wow Camilla, this is gorgeous! I really loved this. I’ve been in Edinburgh for 12 years (well, we did a stereotypical retreat east during the pandemic) and I don’t think I’ve ever loved the city the way others seem to? I find it a bit gloomy?
I have a fantasy of teaching a course on nationalism/secessionist novels and have decent Quebecois and Catalan options but nothing contemporary for Scotland.
