Worth an evening out! Very easy to get to by nearby buses or a walk! Too many great fish and seafood restaurants to list! A couple of Michelin-starred in touching distance of each other are Kitchin and Martin Wishart. More affordable are The Shore and next door is Fishers. You’re spoilt for choice in Leith!

On Sundays this is the perfect place to get great local artisan food, drink and crafts. It’s a buzzing, but lazy way to fill up on all sorts of food from smoked butter and Finnan Haddie to handmade arts, crafts and delicious local treats. Look out for the ‘tablet’ lady. Best I’ve ever had! (Tablet is the superior Scottish version of fudge) this is to die for ...

Sightseeing
One of the best I’ve ever been to. It’s a 15 minute walk from the apartment, free entry with nice cafes and a restaurant. The Inverleith Gallery usually has a thought provoking exhibition and the views of Edinburgh’s skyline are a must!

This is a short walk from the apartment, free entry with a fantastic cafe (try the cheese scones!). The gallery alone will give you a mosaic of the history of Scotland’s Great & Good but the various exhibitions are always worth spending time in!

You can see Calton Hill from the kitchen window. It’s a short steep climb but completely worth it for the amazing views over the city and the added bonus of the Observatory and a fine restaurant (booking advised).

The older history of Edinburgh is everywhere you turn on this street. From Edinburgh Castle at the top down to Holyrood Palace you’ll find Gladstone’s Land, specialist and artisan shops and traditional bars and restaurants. If you have a peek down some of the ‘Closes’ you’ll not be disappointed! World famous for a reason!

Palace of Holyrood
CanongateAn extinct volcano in the middle of the city. The Crags were shaped in the Ice Age. It’s got three lochs, incredible views and is a bit of a lung buster if you choose to climb to its peak. It’s worth the climb! The views are outstanding and the descent is highly satisfying!
Top tip: take a bottle of water and good footwear! Chocolate might not be a bad idea either!
