This is the first book to fully chronicle the disturbing story of Edinburgh's "secret city" - the underground slums that existed for over 350 years, before finally being abandoned in the mid-nineteenth century. Jan-Andrew Henderson, a professional storyteller who led tours in Edinburgh for four years, vividly describes the lives of poverty and misery that the former inhabitants of the Old Town led, and how their stories came to be re-discovered.
