You’re in Edinburgh, you know you’ll have to eat haggis at some point. Yes, you will. Don’t argue with me now. You’re doing it. Remember though, like any food, there’s good haggis and not so good haggis, so for a successful first try you really need to make sure you seek out a verified...

Vegan food may be ‘on-trend’ right now, but, unlike charcoal, foams and liquid nitrogen, you can bet it won’t be disappearing in a couple of years.

As much as I try, living in Edinburgh makes it almost impossible to ignore Christmas. There’s so many Christmas events I can barely leave the house without tripping over some tinsel or being blinded by whole buildings covered in twinkly lights. But if you too are a bit of a Scrooge this time of...

Autumn in Edinburgh. Well, I know the top question here is probably – what’s the weather like? So I’ll give it to you straight.

Edinburgh is full of fabulous bike riding trails, but if you’re feeling especially sprightly, one of the best longer rides is to follow the Union Canal all the way to Falkirk, where it abruptly ends at the world’s only rotating boat lift; The Falkirk Wheel.

Edinburgh’s beer history goes right back to the 12th century, when monks from Holyrood Abbey discovered an underground lake and began using its pure waters to start brewing.
