A bit of a local institution. It's opening hours are a bit unusual (it opens for a few hours in the morning and then re-opens in the evening) but it's worth visiting if you're looking for freshly-baked morning rolls, pies and pastries.

The Union Canal is only a five minute walk up the road and can be accessed via Harrison Park. In one direction, it offers a more scenic walk along to Fountain Park, while in the other direction you can head further out of town where it eventually joins the nature trails on the Water of Leith. Watch out for cyclists!
