City Guide to Edinburgh, Scotland

September 08, 2022

We flew to Edinburgh following our trip to London (see here for our London Itinerary), and it was absolutely adorable. We stayed at a flat in The Grange neighborhood which was lovely, but I would also recommend the Stockbridge neighborhood.

Here are my favorite things we did that I would recommend to others who are visiting:

Restaurants:

• The Rabbit Hole
• The Chaumer
• Cotê
• 63rd + 1st
• Badger & Co
• The Scran and Scalle
• Bross Bagels

Coffee:

• The Milkman | Their blueberry knots are also sooo delicious!
• Fortitude Coffee

I would recommend spending two days in Edinburgh, and here's what I would do:

Day One:

• Coffee & blueberry knots at The Milkman
• Walk along Princes Street Gardens, Scott Monument, and Ross Fountain to Edinburgh Castle
• Tour Edinburgh Castle
• Lunch at Badger & Co.
• Walk along the Royal Mile
  • There are SO many shops and places to see but it's all very close together and easy to walk from one spot to another.
    • Ex: Cockburn Street, Mary King's Close, Dunbar's Close, Victoria Street, Armchair Books,
  • Dinner at The Rabbit Hole
  
  

Day Two:

• Grab breakfast at Bross Bagels in Stockbridge
  • Fortitude Coffee in Stockbridge is great for coffee
• Bop into Golden Hare Books (right next-door to Bross Bagels)
• Walk down Circus Lane
• Water of Leith Walkway
• Walk to Dean Village
• Lunch at The Chaumer
• Hike to Arthur's Seat
• Shop/bop around
• Return to the flat to freshen up
• Dinner & drinks at The Salisbury Arms
