‘I am proud to live here and proud that my home city is committed to becoming a more inclusive place. OneCity Trust seeks to unify: I cannot think of a better goal, for Edinburgh, Scotland or the world.’ – J. K. Rowling
Alexander McCall Smith , Ian Rankin and Irvine Welsh have joined forces for the first time to write three interlinking stories about Edinburgh. The fact that the writers have such radically different takes on Edinburgh life – a social mix that ranges from Welsh’s Leith junkies to McCall Smith’s New Town haute bourgeoisie – makes for an intriguing read.
All proceeds from the book will go to the One City charity, which fights social exclusion in the city. Edinburgh’s Lord Provost Lesley Hinds said: ‘This book project is exactly what One City is all about. The idea of three successful Edinburgh authors, with very different perspectives, getting together to raise awareness and money by using their talent and creativity, is really exciting.’
