The book of poems is seamlessly punctuated with delicate drawings by John Knight. Through Conn's words and Knight's images, they manage to translate the feeling of Edinburgh onto paper. Having spent two decades living in Glasgow, Conn observes the folk of Edinburgh with fresh eyes and notices things in a way locals may not. Knight's drawings, in both black and white and colour, give real life to this charming collection of poems.

‘Scotland Street Press have produced a pocket inspiration for our impressions of Old Town and New. Everyone who loves Edinburgh will cherish this book. It is heartening to turn the pages of this perceptive and finely realised response to the city’s beauty in poetry and drawing.’

– Donald Smith, Edinburgh Old Town Association Newsletter August 2019

'Stewart Conn’s ability to transcribe the city and unearth its character has not faded with time’

– Nick Major, The National

Aspects of Edinburgh is simply beautiful. It comprises Stewart Conn’s Edinburgh poems interleaved with richly detailed drawings and water colours by John Knight. The whole thing is a gorgeous experience. Buy it instead of a soul-less greetings card for someone you care about.

– Lorraine Fannin, Life in the Time of COVID Plague

Aspects of Edinburgh is a delightful expression of a unity and completeness of vision. There is a unity of detail, a journey - a kind of pilgrimage - through the city; a rare unity of text and illustration. Each completely complements, and compliments, the other.

-James Aitchison
