Food Scene
Owned by Michelin star chef Tom Kitchin, this gastro pub is very popular with Edinburgh locals and because most tables are not available to reserve your chances of getting a table are good, you might just have to wait in the bar with a dram for a while! Perfect for lunch or dinner.

Small but delicious with an extensive wine list. They serve a mix of Mediterranean, Scottish and Asian fusion food in a tapas style. Highly recommend booking in advance, alternatively they have a larger restaurant in Broughton Street.

Parks & Nature
A short stroll from the flat, a walk up above the duck pond will give you a stunning vista of the Edinburgh skyline. Also a perfect spot if you're in town during any of the fireworks as you can see both Carlton hill and the Castle from here.

After a trip to Edinburgh most people who know the city will ask if you climbed Arthur's Seat. If you have the time and inclination I would highly recommend it but you won't be alone, it is very popular with locals and tourists alike. It takes about 40 minutes up and down at a gentle pace, there are a few routes so can take longer if you want to walk the crags also. It can be muddy and the top section does get slippy, it also gets really windy up there so take a scarf and a hat!
Start the route from Holyrood Palace, if you want to make a day of it walk down the other side to the Sheep Heid pub for Sunday lunch.

You can join the Water of Leith Walkway at Stockbridge and walk it in either direction. Walk towards Leith and you may spot a couple of eery Anthony Gormley statues in the water. At the end you will find The Shore of Leith with lots of restaurants and pubs, Teuchters is a fave! Walk in the other direction and you will pass St Bernhard's Well, beautiful Dean Village and end up at the Modern Art Galleries.

I won't list all the places in the city centre, you can't help but stumble upon them. Enjoy wondering around it is a truly beautiful city.
One secret tip though, if you don't want to climb Arthur's Seat you can get almost the same view from the top floor of the National Museum on Chambers Street!

Closest bar to the flat, and only place at this end of Stockbridge with outdoor areas so becomes very popular when the sun is shining.
Food menu here is ok but if you're looking for food I'd recommend Scran & Scallie across the road first.
