The story of the Town Below the Ground is one of the most
disturbing in the annals of Scottish history. For almost 250 years,
Edinburgh was surrounded by a giant defensive wall and, unable to
expand its boundaries, it became the most densely populated city in
Europe. When buildings could go no higher, people were forced to
construct new edifices over the existing structures. An underground
slum developed, where subterranean dwellers lived in darkness and
abject poverty, ignored by chroniclers of the time. Edinburgh's
population eventually came to believe that the city--out of sight
and out of mind since its abandonment in the mid-19th century--had
never been there at all. This is the first book to fully chronicle
Edinburgh's Town Below the Ground--its history and structure, its
inhabitants and the lives they led, the story of its rediscovery,
the parts that still remain, and the tales that made it legendary.
