Food Scene

BRUNCH - Situated in a lovely part of Edinburgh, about 30mins walk (other routes are available!) from our flat. A perfect place for brunch! The difficulty will be what to order from the menu!

DRINKS/EVENING MEAL - Heather and I went here for a cocktail before our meal at Piggs. Relaxed vibe, with great service. It does get booked up so might be worth reserving a table. We didn't eat there but the food looked very tasty!

EVENING MEAL - Excellent service and food at Three Birds. We went with my brother and his partner one Saturday evening. Booking is recommended, especially at the weekend. If you like meat, try the Big Cow! They also own two other restaurants in Edinburgh 'Apiary Restaurant' and 'Educated Flea'

Sightseeing

This is something Heather and I did not long after we moved. Something to do if you want to escape the rain(!). A great way to learn a little about the history of the beautiful city!

We took my Mum and Dad out for the day. We did the audio tour and it was a great couple of hours. They have an excellent place on-board to get refreshments. Highly recommended.

Another place to learn a little more about the history of Scotland. The audio tour was very helpful whilst walking around. It took just over an hour to complete.

A lovely afternoon spent having a walk through the gardens. The Orchard Pub near the gardens is great for a quick beer or a bite to eat.
