Jim Haynes Rhino

Charles Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AD


The bronze rhino sticking out from the Faculty of Informatics building marks the spot where Jim Haynes' Paperback Bookshop was situated in the 1960s.



Haynes is credited with founding the Traverse Theatre and was a leading figure in the alternative scene. Nowadays, he is best known for hosting open-house dinners for strangers every Sunday at his Paris home. If this is your sort of thing, check out Charlie& Evelyn's Supper Club.
