Sightseeing
Carlton Hill is at the end of our road and in my mind one of the most special places in Edinburgh, you climb the small hill and on top for minimal effort you have spectacular 350 degree views of Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth , Arthur’s seat , Holyrood palace, the Old and New Town princess St , the castle, literally Edinburgh seen in an hour! Carlton Hill also has a magic vibe, it has seen many mystical festivals some our annual . If feeling peckish there is a top restaurant called the glass house , as the name suggests it’s glass perched on a cliff it is expensive and probably better to book, there is also a kiosk owned by the restaurant selling high end sandwiches, pastries, coffee etc, I do find sometimes it is closed …

It’s my favourite place in Edinburgh, this volcanic rock, it’s supposed to have bagged the title of most beautiful walk in the Uk, with its panoramic views of Edinburgh Fife and beyond, it’s where I walk my dog every day , you can walk along the play fair bank at the end of Windsor st towards the back of Holyrood, through Holyrood park where there’s always something interesting, wether it’s a royal arriving by helicopter I have seen the Queen drive by to attend a garden party ,princess Anne lands a helicopter, there may be a bagpiper or a juggler , always an ice cream ! However in front lies a magnificent sight, you can choose to walk a short distance to a loch, or maybe a ruin or climb to the top if you are feeling energetic, take a picnic or perhaps choose to walk to the Sheep’s Heid Edinburgh’s oldest pub in a little place called Duddingston .

Leith
Leith has been voted the 4 th coolest place in the world by time out magazine, my husband is very proud as he works there, we are both slightly doubtful it really is, however leith is a buzzing place at the end of leith Walk, the road 2 minutes from the apartment , it would have been a great walk with interesting people local shops and restaurants but the council have dug it up for trams. However you choose when you arrive a charming shore awaits you with wonderful pubs and restaurants, some Michelin ⭐️star bakeries 🧁 boats ,restaurants in barges an excellent vibe
