This is a local search for God in the holy places of Edinburgh and Lothians. The first section deals with the past, touring the stones, statues, spires, churches and ancient monuments which crowd the city and its surrounds. It is an appreciation of the people whose collective efforts over the centuries have moulded the spiritual heritage of the Lothians today - the women and men of faith, the city fathers, the architects and the artists, the saints and even the sinners. The second part of the book looks at the present and the future. It asks where God is to found in the world around you, and what God's attitude is to the social problems of our day - homelessness, poverty, unemployment, AIDS and drug-addiction. People who work in the various Churches and support-groups in the Lothians express their views in response to these questions.
