The builder of the White House, the hero of Aboukir Bay, a murderer
who inspired Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a decadent society hostess...
Set in 66 Queen Street, a townhouse in Edinburgh's New Town, this
book tells the story of people and events associated with the house
for 210 years from 1790 and whose lives were empowered by the
Scottish Enlightenment. The diverse characters range from heroes to
villains, and from people of conscience to subjects of tabloid
scandal and moral prurience. Edinburgh emerges from its past to
become the intellectual, banking and professional capital of an
enlightened Scotland. The story reflects how our modern world is
shaped but above all it is about its people; some masters of their
circumstances and others prisoners
