Explore
In a historic city like Edinburgh, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to exploring the cobbled streets. That's why we've picked some of our favourites, ensuring you don't miss the highlights.
Circus Lane
Possibly one of the most popular areas of the neighbourhood has to be the Iconic Circus Lane, which is a great way to start your day in Stockbridge. The famous lane is known for its unique village-like character, and is a hotspot for tourists, all snapping their perfect pictures. We recommend starting the day early to avoid the busy periods, so you can take the perfect photos to remember your visit.
Some of the best times to visit the lane are in the Spring and Autumn. During the Spring, all of the flowers are in bloom, making for the perfect background shots; alternatively, during the autumn, the lane is covered in leaves, ideal for the ‘moody’ Edinburgh aesthetic.
The Royal Mile
Head to the Royal Mile for immediate access to some of the city’s best attractions. Including: Edinburgh Castle, The Scotch Whiskey Experience and St Giles Cathedral. The Royal mile depending on your preference, also has access to the ever-popular Cockburn Street and Edinburgh’s ‘Diagon Alley’, Victoria Street.
Entertain
When it comes to entertainment in the city, the list is truly endless - but here are some of our favourites, guaranteed to enhance your stay with us.
Rare Bird Books - a female-owned business that sells women-only authors throughout its shop.
Golden Hare Books - located on St Stephen Street- is a fantastic destination to grab your book before a trip to Lannan Bakery or Fortitude Coffee.
The Last Word - Finish your day off with a well-deserved cocktail at The Last Word. Located on St Stephen Street, this independent cocktail spot is a real hidden gem.
