Books by James U. Thomson

James Thomson spent a lifetime delving into the strange and curious ongoings which add flesh to the bare bones of the city's story. Edinburgh Curiosities will answer many of the questions you might have asked yourselves about our capital. Hamish Coghill is Edinburgh born and bred, spending more than 40 years as a journalist on the city's evening newspaper. He has written extensively about his city, and also lectures regularly on its history and development. A member of the Old Edinburgh Club, Honorary President of the Currie and District Local History Society and an avid recorder of the changing local scene in photographs for his personal interest, he is very much an Edinburgh bairn.
