In Focus
The Renfrew to Yoker
ferry provides a passenger-only ferry service across the 200m wide
River Clyde between Renfrew on the

Featured Book
Edinburgh's Literary Heritage and How it Changed the World by Jan-Andrew Henderson (21 May 2021).
Edinburgh has a literary tradition like no other. In 2004, the capital became the first ever UNESCO City of Literature and its
book festival is the largest public celebration of the
written word on the planet. But that is merely scratching the surface. For centuries, work
written, set and published in the city, or directly influenced by Edinburgh, has changed the
face of the world. This book tells the fascinating history of Edinburgh’s literary legacy, and shows where it can still be found.
