"Royal Edinburgh: Her Saints, Kings, Prophets and Poets" by Mrs. Oliphant is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the rich tapestry of Edinburgh's history, focusing on significant figures such as saints, monarchs, and poets who shaped the city's identity. The narrative combines elements of biography and history to depict the evolution of Edinburgh from its early days to a recognized center of culture and governance. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the legendary beginnings of Edinburgh, illustrating a time when it was merely a fortress high upon a rock, inhabited by the king's daughters. It specifically brings to life the story of Margaret of Scotland, portraying her as a pivotal figure who not only transformed the court through her grace and piety but also established significant social and religious advancements. The text hints at her upbringing, the transformative impact of her marriage to King Malcolm, and her tireless efforts to improve the conditions of her new kingdom, revealing a blend of personal struggle and the broader themes of religious and national identity that will unfold in the subsequent chapters.
