@kakibot's spots
- EdinburghArcade Bar Haggis & Whisky HouseSame part casual and fancy, this is a place where you can combine a chill date with testing out Scottish cuisine. Menu features a very tasty Chicken Balmoral, perhaps a less full-on option for the ones of you who can't seem to get excited for the good old Haggis Neeps and Tatties!Bar
- EdinburghSt Andrews Restaurant & TakeawayIs this one of the best chippies in Edinburgh or is it just extremely satisfying to eat fish and chips by the sea? Why not both! On a sunny day, nothing beats enjoying a freshly fried cod or haddock with a view over the Firth of Forth. Just don't leave your lunch unattended around local seagulls! They truly have no shame.Restaurant
- EdinburghCramond IslandA visit to this island is a bit of an adventure - look up the tide times, otherwise you might get stranded for half a day! You can find remnants of old anti-submarine fortifications and, not surprisingly, amazing views of the Firth of Forth landscape on a clear day.Historicpremium Only
- EdinburghLannan BakeryIf you're feeling brave, pop over to Stockbridge and spend an hour in the queue for Lannan bakery's vienoisserie. Your dedication shall be rewarded with some of the most precisely made, luxurious pastries and cakes. Pastries hit the shelves first thing in the morning, followed by other bakes and sandwiches later in the day.Bakerypremium Only
- EdinburghRosslyn ChapelA little day trip for anyone with a generous time budget: this chapel made famous by Dan Brown's bestseller is in fact a wonderful place to explore the art of masonry and medieval symbolism. I wouldn't miss out on a walk through the Roslin Glen valley while here - it does feature some steep slopes especially as you descend into and walk out of the valley, but otherwise can be a very relaxing stroll among plentiful flora.Historicpremium Only
- EdinburghThe Cocktail GeeksDo you have a bit of... nerdy tendencies? Then do not miss out on Cocktail Geeks and their themed menus which get changed up every three months or so! And fear not, the team behind this venture is too talented to make this "just a gimmick" - these are amazing, inventive and often STRONG cocktails!Barpremium Only
- EdinburghScott MonumentOne of the top views you can get over the city, and it doesn't get any more gothic than this (it hasn't been given the nickname "Gothic Rocket" for nothing!) The space can however get quite tight, especially towards the very top, so please do keep this in mind!Historicpremium Only
- EdinburghThe Writers' MuseumBookworm? Then you're surely aware that Scotland was once the home of great authors like Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson - and in this Old Town museum you'll get to see their original manuscripts and rough drafts! Also - the hidden court it's situated in is extremely photogenic!Museumpremium Only
