About this audio guide
This guide to Circus Lane in Edinburgh starts with the postcard-perfect lane's less photogenic past: decades as a neglected shortcut for speeding cars behind Royal Circus. It follows the residents who restored it by hand in the nineteen eighties, planting flower boxes and slowing traffic, and traces how the lane went from ignored to voted the most beautiful street in the country. Listen for what its own fame has recently begun to test.
