McCall Smith’s 44 Scotland Street, appeared over 110 episodes in The Scotsman newspaper in the first half of 2004. The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street, a fictitious building in a real street in the author’s home city of Edinburgh. With its multiple-occupancy flats, Scotland Street is an interesting corner of the New Town, verging on the Bohemian, where haute bourgeoisie rub shoulders with members of the intelligentsia and students.
