Visit Edinburgh city chambers where JK Rowling has had a bronze impression of her hands immortalised in the courtyard after receiving the Edinburgh award in 2008.

In the courtyard of Edinburgh City Chambers, there are golden handprints of Edinburgh Award winners, including J.K. Rowling's prints. These handprints are a hidden gem that many tourists miss as they walk past on their way to the castle. It's like a mini Harry Potter treat waiting to be discovered right under their noses!
