| | |  JKR on Edinburgh Literary Map
A map of the Scottish Capital featuring places connected with famous books and authors has been drawn up as part of Edinburgh’s World City of Literature status. Quote:
It features literary figures and places such as Greyfriars Bobby, Robert Louis Stevenson’s House, the statue of Sherlock Holmes on Picardy Place and one of the cafes where JK Rowling is said to have penned her first Harry Potter book.
Sophy Dale, development manager at Edinburgh UNESCO city of literature, said: "When we were trying to decide on places to put on the map, we had to be sure to pick places that people could actually go and visit or have a look at."
The article also mentions the only HBP publicity event J.K.Rowling is taking part in; the HBP conference at Edinburgh Castle on the book release weekend.

The UK is alright, but you have to live in certain places to get in on the action. And you lot get alot of GoF teasers and stuff.
