City Guide to Edinburgh, Scotland

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
