Arthur’s Seat: Journeys and Evocations

Arthur’s Seat, rising high above the Edinburgh skyline, is the city’s most awe-inspiring landmark. Although thousands climb to the summit every year, its History and Local Interest remains a mystery, shrouded in myth and legend. The first book of its kind, Arthur’s Seat: Journeys and Evocations is a salute to the ancient tradition of storytelling, guiding the reader around Edinburgh’s famous ‘Resting Giant’ with an exploration of the local folklore and customs associated with the mountain-within-a-city. Inspired by NVA’s Speed of Light, a major event in Edinburgh’s International Festival and the country-wide Cultural Olympiad, Journeys and Evocations brings together past and future in a perspective of the Edinburgh landscape like no other.
