Description

In the early nineteenth century, Edinburgh (known as Auld Reekie) came to be regarded as the Athens of the North. Why was this? How was the notion invented? What were its consequences? Topography, architectural development, literary and social history are all examined in a quest to give meaning to an epithet known by many but understood by few.
