Chiang Yee , The Silent Traveller, now looks at Edinburgh through Chinese eyes and takes the reader with him on many excursions through the Scottish city of mists.
Those who know Edinburgh will be fascinated by the unusual approach to familar landmarks such as the castle , Arthur's Seat , the Hermitage of Braid and the Burns Memorial , while his descriptions will create vivid pictures of the city for those who have not so far visited.
Mr Chiang finds many affinities between the people of Scotland and his own country-men . He goes so far as to advance a theory that Burns might have been Chinese by birth!
The book is enlivened by Chinese anecdotes recalled to the author's mind by experiences in Edinburgh.
