archived posts

These are the posts I wrote before around April 2020 – the ones that don’t exactly reflect where I am now. Some of them I don’t particularly enjoy reading back, or feel too personal, or don’t fit into a category that I want to focus on (or all of the above), but I don’t want to delete because of all the work that went into them. So, I’ve put them here, not exactly hidden, but not super easy to find either. I might swap and change posts between this category and my archive, and back again, as I navigate what I’m comfortable with sharing.

Light fuel stops in Edinburgh 🍔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳 Light fuel stops in Edinburgh 🍔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One thing I sometimes struggle with is where to find lunch or snack stops that don’t become a full restaurant meal - expensive AND time consuming. 

So here are some recommendations for places to find lighter, smaller and maybe quicker food in Edinburgh!

💡 SAVE this for your trip to Edinburgh!

⚠️ AVOID: Blank Street & the usual chains
Edinburgh has so many beautiful independent coffee shops with great coffee, cosy atmospheres and really friendly owners and staff. Don’t waste your time or money in the big chains as it doesn’t benefit the local economy as much and you will lose out on that personal touch of an indie cafe

I’ve still got endless Edinburgh pubs to explore, especially in the new town, but these (primarily Southside) options are really cool spots. 

Do you have any to add to this list? 🍻
