Edinburgh `city of literature'
By Hasan Suroor
LONDON: Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and venue of United Kingdom's biggest annual literary festival, has been declared the world's first "City of Literature" by UNESCO in recognition of its contribution to books and the arts. The announcement followed a long and high-profile campaign by some of Scotland's leading literary figures, including J. K. Rowling, who wrote her first Harry Potter book in a café in Edinburgh. It is already recognised as a heritage city, and with its new status, Edinburgh is expected to earn more than £2 millions a year through tourism and literary events.
