It is the early 1800s — a time of war with France, and a time of danger and opportunity in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket, Leith docks, and the shores of Portobello. Inspired in part by the dark romantic spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s characters, Edinburgh Days is a twisted tale of possession and retribution, passion and betrayal.

At the heart of the story is Davie Logan, a fiery young man trapped between the brutal dockside world he knows and his longing for something greater. Raised by the ruthless and manipulative MacGregor, Davie longs to escape the darkness surrounding him. His mother Jean, fiercely protective yet haunted by the choices and secrets of her past, struggles desperately to hold her family together as tensions rise around them. Alongside her is Mary — sharp-tongued, warm-hearted, and streetwise — whose humour and loyalty help carry the family through hardship.

When Davie falls in love with Catriona, the minister’s daughter, their romance collides with class division, violence, buried truths, and MacGregor’s tightening grip over all their lives. As hidden secrets begin to surface, Davie is forced to confront who he really is — and whether he can break free from the fate others have chosen for him.

Around them swirl the lives of sailors, prostitutes, churchgoers, drunks, workers, and dreamers in a city alive with music, temptation, and danger.

Blending emotional storytelling, humour, powerful vocals, and a soaring Celtic rock score, Edinburgh Days brings old Edinburgh vividly to life — a world of stone, smoke, blood, where love and redemption struggle to survive against the odds.
