Recently, I spent five weeks living in Edinburgh, Scotland. As part of a remote-working tour of the UK, my boyfriend and I spent over a month living in Stockbridge while working from home.
Since we ate out a lot in Edinburgh and I grabbed takeaway coffee almost every day, I thought it would be useful to compile a list of everywhere that we really rated.
The most extensive lists are going to be of coffee and takeaways, but now that places are open to eat inside, there are many more we wish we had been able to try out.
But that will mean we’ll have an excuse to go back!
