Dunedin: City of Literature

Dunedin? Must be in Scotland, right? Well, actually, wrong.

"Dunedin (Māori: Ōtepoti) is the second-largest city in the South Island of New Zealand, and the principal city of the Otago region. Its name however does come from Scotland, from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland." Which is appropriate, given that Edinburgh was the first to be designated a city of literature, in 2004.

Here's a list of all of the cities of literature around the world. As of 2017, 28 cities have been designated as part of the City of Literature programme.

If you love literature, it makes sense to put these places on your bucket list.
