'10 Scotland Street' tells the story of an Edinburgh home, with its cast of inhabitants and connections across the globe.

10 Scotland Street is the story of an Edinburgh home and its cast of booksellers, silk merchants, sailors, preachers, politicians, cholera and coincidence and its widespread connections over two centuries across the globe to the Caribbean, Irkutsk, Calcutta, Sydney...and an unexpected, if tenuous, connection with Robert Burns.
