Breathtaking views from the top but you can still have a nice gentle walk or jog around the outside if you don't fancy a climb (approx 5km loop). Holyrood Park is great on a nice day to soak up the sun, have a BBQ or throw a frisbee and only 10 mins walk away.

One of the best gardens in the UK and worth a visit even if you aren't a gardener as it is a lovely place for a picnic or to read a book. Free entry. Not open late in the evening unless for a special event.

Do all or part of this lovely 12 3/4 miles walk / cycle route. The walk from the Botanics to the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art via Dean Village is a good section to start with and makes a nice day out.

If you need a great hairdresser this is where to come. I have been coming to Abi for years - she is friendly, professional and totally transformed how I approach haircare.

Best curry in Edinburgh although it is not fancy inside. Basic decor but good service, excellent food and amazing value. BYOB. Deliveries can be very slow so you are best to sit in or pick up.

THE best off-licence in Edinburgh. Knowledgeable staff and great selection. They sometimes have tastings on if you are wandering past of an afternoon and don't have anything important to do later that evening...

Neighborhoods

Leith Market is on every Saturday 10am to 4pm at Dock Place. If nothing takes your fancy then Teuchters right next door does very good food and has the best outdoor seating on a sunny day (that also catches the sun well into the evening too so you might not want to move!).
