Location
Transreal Fiction, 46 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh, EH1 2QE
Candlemaker Row is half a mile from Waverley Station and very close to several bus routes – 2, 23, 27, 41, 42, 45, 47 & 35 – so it’s very central and also near several of Edinburgh’s best known tourist attractions. There is also metered car parking very close by in Chambers Street.
Greyfriars Bobby – 30 yards
Greyfriars Church & churchyard – 30 yards
The Royal Scottish Museum &
The Royal Museum of Scotland – 100 yards
Magdalene Chapel – 150 yards
The Grassmarket – 150 yards – and it’s full of restaurants and pubs if you want something to eat!
Some of my neighbouring shops also have interesting stock, including the nearby comic shop and also the gallery/shop opposite
So there’s plenty in the neighbourhood to do as well as visit Transreal Fiction!

What a great site and what great books. Thanks for all the suggestions. How good to find someone else who cares about mysterious alien artifacts and who knows who The Pretty Things are.
Ah, if only I’d known you were there on my one & only, cherished & unforgettable visit to Edinburgh. You’d have had to drag me out of there with a power winch.
Next time I get across the water….
Yours,

Thanks for your comment, Robert.
Haste ye back, as we say, and I’ll buy you a pint!
Really enjoyed the first book, but not got around the The Rats & the Ruling Sea yet…
