The Rise and Fall of the City of Money

A Financial History of Edinburgh

Ray Perman
Edinburgh is a city built on finance, which transformed it from medieval squalor to Georgian elegance. This history describes how the collapse of the Darien Scheme in 1700 led to the reform of its banking industry, the development of financial institutions such as Scottish Widows and the Royal Bank of Scotland, its global influence through the 19th and 20th centuries, and how that ended with the 2008 crash.
