The Inspector’s Daughter (Rose McQuinn 1)

Travel Guide

Edinburgh

Rose McQuinn moves back to the city of her birth and sees it through very different eyes. The city, just as she herself, has changed a great deal. As soon as she returns, barely is she off the train when she realises just how different Edinburgh now is.

Coming back from the Wild West if America to the somewhat lawless and gothic and considerably colder streets of Edinburgh would be a shock. As would living in an old Solomon’s tower at the foot of Arthur’s Set, an old Volcano

With only her (slightly otherworldly) deerhound Thane for company, she rediscovers the city but everywhere she goes,she sees the ghost of her father. She will walk the streets and visit the shadows of the city that he did.

When the circus comes to town, there’s more than just a show which comes with it. There are some very dark happenings and that’s saying something for Edinburgh in 1899.

There are two sides to Edinburgh – the new with Jenners on Princess Street being good for shopping even then! And the old tenement buildings which still make up much of the old town.

Should point out that Solomon’s Tower is fictional but it’s a good trek finding out where it would have stood and imagining Rose smiling when you have.
