2.30 : The Strange tale of European Edinburgh (Hyde) and British Edinburgh (Jekyll)': The real significance of Edinburgh's old town - Charles Mckean
How the evolution of Edinburgh has been misunderstood, and rather than being a juxtaposition of two towns of different age (old and new towns) it is in reality the juxtaposition of towns of two fundamentally different cultures (European and British).'
The old and the new towns of Edinburgh are a misnomer. The majority of buildings in the'Old Town' are more recent than the majority of buildings in the 'new'.
Yet the two towns are utterly distinct. Up on the rock is a typical European town (with one major exception) - of the kind you can seen in France, Spain, Germany, Denmark or Poland: the form, the spaces are the same. But NOT in England.
On the plain, they started to build British Edinburgh in 1767, rejecting their european origins, and preferring 'houses after the English manner,' with private squares, socially segregated streets and no place to riot in. So Edinburgh built the most English of English towns. Very modern. They then regarded the old town as the repository of primitiveness and savagery.
It is the origin of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde...

Gordon will demonstrate the space of his allotment and describe what he grows and his approach to urban gardening – companion planting, observing what grows well, co-existing with the animal life, going with the seasons, keeping a wild aesthetic alive but still talking to the neighbours. He is also an occasional poet [will be at Courtyard Readings beside the Scottish Poetry Library some days during the 16-27 August fortnight] and will bring a poem or two inspired by being in his plot, to this session beside the yurt.
He has been influenced by Patrick Geddes, Henry Thoreau, and Kenneth White, amongst others, and hopes to interest people in how you can use an empty space, or a grown over space, in a town like Edinburgh, and realise where the natural world, the urban world and the personal world can come together rather than split apart.
