Travel Guide
Discover a house in Leith, Edinburgh
One sister lives in Los Angeles and comes home to Edinburgh to find out the mystery of her missing sister. It all centres around an old house in Edinburgh – Leith to be precise. Leith is on the outskirts of the city of Edinburgh and is a perfect place for a mystery of this kind. There are lots of old houses here, some neglected and not the modern shiny ones you might expect in the city centre. This is where houses are different, darker, with the noise of the rough sea close by, drowning out the screaming secrets…
The floral clock in Edinburgh’s Princess Street gets a nice mention!
