We are delighted to be welcoming RachelLouise Driscoll along to the shop on the evening of Thursday 13th February at 7pm as we celebrate the publication of her dazzling tale of adventure and obsession set beneath a blazing Egyptian sun, Nephthys. Sister. Rival. Protector. The spellbinding story of a forgotten daughter and a forgotten goddess. Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background. Although her parents may overlook her talents, her ability to read hieroglyphs makes her invaluable at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society. But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever. Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, has taken on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story that she can undo the mistakes of the past. On her journey up the Nile she will meet unexpected allies and enemies and, along with long-buried secrets and betrayals, Clemmie will be forced to step into the light. Rachel Louise Driscoll won the Curtis Brown Creative scholarship in 2020. Originally from the South West, she lives in the North East with her husband and cat, Cleopatra. Nephthys is her debut novel. She was inspired to write Clemmie's story by an experience she had at a local museum as a child where she was allowed to hold a mummified ancient Egyptian cat. Enjoying the hours of avid research required, Rachel even wrote some of the book wearing a corset in order to capture Clemmie’s experience more accurately! - Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm, please arrive early to secure a good seat.

Really lovely experience. I went with a local guide and would recommend getting one as they are able to tell you the stories of the place that you may need time to read up before or during your visit. An architecture that is truly beautiful even from secluded corners.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Very good place, the palace is not big, the old wooden floor is creaking, very atmospheric, I like it very much! ! I hope that in the future, I can see the part that has not been built or repaired, next to the Royal Art Gallery.

This experience is a fantastic way to learn about Whisky from the start all the way through to tasting Whisky. The most impressive collection of Whisky that I&rsquo;ve ever seen. Great value for money. If you like Whisky or you&rsquo;ve never tasted Whisky this experience should be on your must do list when visiting Scotland.

It is a must-visit place in Edinburgh. On the hill, there are lots of good spots to get a good view of the city. Old Town, New Town, Arthur&#39;s Seat, and the sea are all visible there.
