However many times I come out of Waverley Station, the Old Town piled above me takes my breath away. Edinburgh has been shaped by the generations of people who lived here. I made Layers of Edinburgh to help visitors and residents delight in their stories.

"It's a lovely thing for people to take back home with them too."

Edinburgh's such a special city because its history is still being written: Layers of Edinburgh shows many new buildings. If we know the earlier chapters, we can be part of an equally stunning sequel.
