Edinburgh Drift is an attempt to distill my thoughts and feelings about the idea of place as it relates to Edinburgh and the surrounding area; to create a poetry of the commonplace and, at the same time, of the uncommon, the hidden and the numinous. More than anything, I’m striving to locate, and thus bring out in the writing, photographs and field recordings on the site, an overlay of the dream on our more mundane diurnal geographies.

Although I originally come from the opposite side of the country, Edinburgh has been my home for more than 20 years. I’m still uncovering its secrets even now.

I’m on Twitter as @EdinDrift, where I post more frequently than the main pieces here, and you can also get in touch with me by email using the address edindrift (at) gmail (dot) com – I’d love to hear from you. You can also join on Facebook (search "Edinburgh Drift").
