5 mins from my flat
Here are some great local spots within a 5 minute walk from the flat. If you want a morning coffee to take on a walk with you, there’s no better than Little Fitzroy. Twelve Triangle does THE most delicious pastries, Polentoni makes the tastiest Italian food to take away for lunch or dinner. Easter Greens is great for groceries or vegan ingredients and Cornelius is the most wonderful bottle shop that’s worth a browse if you fancy a nice bottle of wine or a local beer or gin!
The friendliest coffee shop around! You can sit in or go for a delicious takeaway coffee! Staff really know their coffee so also a good place if you want to pick up some beans! Also great cakes/sandwiches (with plenty vegan options).

Local walks
There are lots of really lovely walks in a short distance of the flat. Calton Hill and Arthur’s Seat are great for views, Leith Links and Montgomery Park are great for sitting in the sun and dog-spotting (and Leith Links has a lovely food market on Saturdays), and Wardie Bay and Portobello Beach are great walks if you fancy a swim! If you want a longer walk, head to the Pentlands for great views over Edinburgh and you can even spot some highland cows!
