As Scotland's capital since 1437, the city has witnessed many of the key events which have shaped the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Edinburgh has always been much more than just a political centre. During the Enlightenment, it was one of the intellectual powerhouses of Europe, and in the twentieth century it became the arts capital of the world with the founding of its many festivals. Finance, religion, education, and industry are also important parts of the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlistair Moffat explores these themes and many more, showing how the city has grown, changed, and adapted over the centuries. He introduces Edinburgh's famous places and people, including monarchs, murderers, writers, and philosophers, as well as the ordinary citizens who have contributed so much to the life of one of the world's best-known and most beautiful cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849041662188,"sku":"9781780279053","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23576943482821.jpg?v=1759011597","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/edinburgh-a-new-history-by-alistair-moffat-9781780279053","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
