"Edinburgh Sketches & Memories" by David Masson is a compilation of historical essays that brings Edinburgh’s past to life through vivid storytelling and insightful reflections. The collection examines the city's vibrant history, with a key focus on influential people and milestone events. Masson sets the stage with a prefatory note explaining how the essays, written at different times, share the common theme of Scotland's capital's history. The opening essay vividly illustrates Mary, Queen of Scots' return to Scotland in August 1561, highlighting the palpable emotions surrounding her arrival. The narrative then navigates the city's rich landscape, exploring its architectural makeup and cultural customs, thereby laying the groundwork for a comprehensive look at Edinburgh’s legacy.
