Reginald Johnston was the only Scot to work in Beijing's Forbidden City. Born in Edinburgh in 1874, he was an explorer, writer and tutor to the last emperor of China. Chris Dolan unravels this fascinating life with an exploration of personal letters that illuminate Johnston's remarkable achievements, including his appointment as a Mandarin of the highest rank.
