James Grant: `Old and New Edinburgh' (1882) - 3 volumes. Also for an earlier period (but still relevant):- Henry Grey Graham: `Social Life of Edinburgh in the Eighteenth Century) (1899) - 2 volumes. He also wrote `Scottish Men of Letters in the Eighteenth Century) (1901) - 1 volume - not likley to be so relevant for your interest. Each of the above books may be quite difficult to find but try specialist libraries. More recently Malcolm Cant has written a series of books about `The Villages of Edinburgh'. Charles J. Smith (NO relation) has also written on Historic Edinburgh. Eunice Smith Edinburgh, Scotland
