Food Scene
If you are a coffee aficionado, this is the place for you! the best long black in town, if you ask me, and the cakes are pretty damn amazing too! the house blend is Jansoon, but ask if they have any guest blends available to try:) Coffee beans/ ground also available to take away, so you can recreate the experience at home!

Highly recommended Taco restaurant. Tapas style dining; small menu with various meat, fish and veggie options. Absolutely delicious food, and keenly priced too. Booking essential as this place is tiny. Bring Your Own Bottle with corkage!

Parks & Nature
Arthur's seat is an incredible site of natural beauty right in the midst of Edinburgh's hustle and bustle. A dormant volcanic site in which to explore, there are stunning panoramic views of the city and beautiful nature in which to enjoy a wander or picnic!

Stunning Botanical gardens in the heart of Stockbridge. A lovely place to walk around, entry to the gardens is free (though entry to the glasshouses is not) and they are vast and an always inspiring place to be. A wonderful place to sit and read with a coffee, if the weather is nice :)

Drinks & Nightlife
Great and characterful bar, equally nice for a quiet drink or a vibrant weekend pint. One of a number of Swedish bars in the Leith Area (Sofi's and Boda are both nearby too). Delicious Scandi food menu served seven-days, all day long.
