TO DO.

Sights are for looking at. These are for getting stuck in.

Take a day trip on the Water of Leith Walkway
Follow the river from Dean Village toward Leith. It’s a quiet, leafy route with plenty of cafes along the way.

Book a whisky tasting
Scotland’s national drink, in the city that knows it best. Choose a guided tasting for a relaxed introduction.

Join a ghost or history tour
Edinburgh’s underground vaults and dark closes make for a memorable evening.

Dip into a Leith food crawl
Graze your way along the waterfront, from seafood to street food to a pint with a view.

Hop on the train to North Berwick
A seaside escape less than an hour away, with beaches, coastal walks and fish and chips.

Browse Stockbridge Market on a Sunday
Local food, coffee and crafts in one of the city’s loveliest villages.

Catch live music, comedy or Theatre Show
From folk sessions in the Old Town to stand-up in the New Town, there’s something on most nights.

Rent a bike along the Union Canal
Flat, scenic and easy to follow, with pubs and picnic spots along the way.

Take a cooking class or afternoon tea
Wind down with something indulgent. Several Edinburgh hotels and cookery schools offer both.

Wander a farmers’ market
Pick up local produce and bring it home to your Calton kitchen.
