The hostel does exist-- or at least it did in 1996, when I lived there. I won't give its name, but I changed only a few details, so I imagine that travelers who have stayed there will recognize it by its description.
There is a St. Mary's in central Edinburgh, but my account of it is fictional. It may or may not have red stained glass in the right configuration; I didn't attempt to verify that. In the world of my story, it does. And the magic pub where Gil worked is not supposed to be any pub in particular. As far as I'm concerned it's imaginary.
And therein lies the magic.
