Start by taking in the stunning views of the old mills, set against the Water of Leith down in Dean Village.
Then walk along the Water of Leith to Stockbridge, a suburb of Edinburgh with a high street full of independent shops, cafes, bakeries and a great selection of pubs. There’s also a market every Sunday where you can pick up some lovely food and other Scottish produce.
If you want to experience an authentic Scottish pub, drop into The Bailie Bar for some drinks and good food!

Just on the outskirts of Edinburgh you can visit
the beach! An area that was popular during

This award winning museum is free and a great way for the family to spend the day. Explore the diversity of the natural world, world cultures, art & design, science and technology and Scottish history. Not to mention admiring the beautiful building in which it’s housed.
It’s also great for children of all ages and one of the best places to go on a rainy day (which we sometimes get in Scotland!).
