    Beautiful place for a walk. Pretty close to the city center, but not overcrowded with turists. Perfectly maintained, a lot of space for children.

    In the Jupiter Artland, pieces of contemporary Art are strewn around an estate with little woods and lawns. It is amazingly well done and the art includes some super creative and wonderful works.

    It took us a little less than 2 hours to walk the full path, and we enjoyed every minute of it.

    I visit every time I’m in Edinburgh. The market is held every Sunday starting at 10am. I recommend a walk along the water of leith walkway, starting near the National Galleries of Scotland through Dean Village until you reach Stockbridge. From paella to mead and anything in between Stockbridge Market is a foodie delight. It’s the place to find souvenirs or interesting gifts for family, friends or yourself, that you won’t find on the Royal Mile. Stockbridge also has an array of cafes and boutiques to explore.

    Popped in after having a lovely lunch at the Dovecot Cafe. Went upstairs to the viewing gallery to see some amazing tapestry and rugs whilst watching the weavres in action on the floor below

    Not a large market but has a good range of businesses & products, lovely location next to the castle and well arranged. Certainly worth a visit for both locals & tourists.

    I dearly wish that the Edinburgh City Art put on a Celtic Revival Exhibition, especially a retrospective on John Duncan, one of Edinburgh's greatest artists.

    There's three or four of John Duncan's paintings in the City Arts Centre. He brings such beautiful colour and detail to the canvas to bring a wonderful portrayal of Celtic folklore. You can see he was influenced by the pre-Raphaelites especially Rossetti and Italian art frescos.

    The arts centre has the superb Tristan & Isolde the classic mythical Romeo & Juliet tale of forlorn love. They hold the love potion that will make them love each other for eternity, but it was not to be, Isolde is betrothed to King Mark of Cornwall. Tristan is taking Isolde on a ship from Ireland to Cornwall for her wedding. Their tale more or less ends like Romeo & Juliet.

    Go across to the Scottish National Gallery and see Duncan's magnificent Saint Bride. At first glance I did not see Saint Bride, I just was mesmerised by the two angels. The designs on their cloaks details Christ's story. Wonderful.

    Tron Kirk Market is a treasure trove of beautiful, high quality, Scottish design and craft, very little of which I had seen elsewhere. It’s such a refreshing shopping experience in the midst of all the repetitive shops along the Royal Mile.

    Such an eclectic curation of artists in so many media meant we were glad we’d allowed enough time. Well worth a visit if your anywhere near Portobello.

    I have been going here on a regular basic and realise I have been taking it completely for granted until I had a dreadful experience at a pretentious and shambolic fleapit (Everyman at Saint James Centre).
    This place is the exact opposite. Easy to buy tickets, easy access, the staff are incredibly helpful. Even the smallest screens are large and easily viewed while the bigger screens are enormous.
    The entrance hall is a bit like an aircraft hanger, but you don't get pestered or charged for incredibly expensive and inedible extras like at Everyman.
    I won't be going back to Everyman, but we will certainly going back often to Odeon Fort Kinnaird.

    Lovely little farmer's market in the centre of Leith on a Saturday. Worth it to have a little wonder about and see if there's anything you'd like.

    We went to this shopping centre mainly to see if we could get a glimpse of the Royal Yacht Britannia in the harbour. We parked in the multi storey car park and got a superb view for where we were parked. Getting into the shopping centre itself was more difficult with the lifts not stopping on all floors and the direction signs weren't the best. The centre itself was very dark and dreary with not a lot of shops and cafes. It needs some attention

    Small , uber stylish gallery and dedicated production hub.
    The Miyako exhibition is stunning and thought provoking . The effect of time on both the human body and our prized personal items is graphic and brave, considering the constant advance of youth driven media (apologise ? ok, a wee bit)
    This iconic Japanese photographer is of the post war generation yet so relevant. The Frida shoes were my Nike Nirvana I suppose but the red diving suit so sums up her political core.
    XXL thanks to John who was 101% in the know and dealt with our questions perfectly. John also let us go through the photographic journal books which showed linked photos from the three collections.
    Ishiuchi Miyako was unknown to me but thanks to the exhibition , I've had a 'wee wake up call' and we all need that post Covid.

    A lucky find for lunch in Leith. We stumbled on this place by chance, initially for coffee and stayed on for food. The coffee could have been hotter, but the food from Rost was amazing - pheasant burger and venison burger both delicious and the best fries ever - crispy and So good with oregano seasoning. We will be back 😊

    Mostly non veg options, but pastries are good. The best is museum which requires a minimum 3-4 hours for seeing everything

    Five minutes from the madness of the Mile , the oldest remaining part of the University
    awaits.
    Firstly, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the Old College quadrangle then step into the gallery's modern 'white cube spaces' and its dramatic 19th century gallery.
    The current Festival exhibition here hosts installations and artwork by Celine Condorelli. It's an inventive and inspiring collection and her use of materials is highly original.
    Welcoming ,helpful staff. Free entrance. Kids'activity pack linked to the exhibition available .
