Every Stop Has a Story

Emma's Flat

The novel opens on this Southside street, where David Nicholls spent the summer of 1988 crammed into a flat with his university theatre group.

The Graduation Party

The graduation ball where Emma and Dexter finally meet was filmed in this quadrangle, built on the site of Kirk o' Field, where Lord Darnley was murdered in 1567.

The Everything Kiss

Dexter catches up with Emma halfway up these steps at the end of their first day, with Edinburgh Castle behind them, and the series returns to the moment in its final minutes.

Dexter's Flat

Dexter's flat is meant to be in Moray Place, but the scenes there were filmed on this curving Victorian terrace in the West End.

Dexter's Home

Dexter's flat is set in this twelve-sided Georgian circus, one of Edinburgh's grandest addresses, though the scenes were filmed a short walk away.

The New Town Walk

Emma and Dexter were filmed running down Howe Street towards this corner, where Playfair's St Stephen's Church closes the view.

Calton Hill

There's no sign the series filmed here, but this hill is a broken-off piece of the same volcano as Arthur's Seat.

The First Morning

Emma and Dexter climb this extinct volcano on their first day together, and years later Dexter climbs it again with his daughter Jasmine in the final episode.
