I was surprised at how small the city was!

Yes, that's something that's struck me several times in 18th century history books, the small size of even fairly significant towns and cities! It must have made a great difference to the landscape the characters are experiencing compared to what we know now. Although I suppose in a city as vertical as 18th-century Edinburgh apparently was, the actual ground area occupied wasn't the whole story.
