Many thanks to David Hicks from Edinburgh City of Literature Trust who led us on an inspiring Literature Walk on 9th Feb 2023.
Our route took in the canal basin, towpath, Fountainbridge Library (outside and inside), streets with tenements, railway path, and ended up with refreshments at the Holy Cow cafe at Edinburgh Printmakers.
Regular walkers were joined by folk who were attracted by this unique opportunity and we heard carefully chosen readings at each key point on the route.
Here are links to three of the readings from the day:
Fountainbridge Library
