Catriona from Edinburgh

About me I’m a born and bred Edinburgher. Although I moved away to study, I left my heart in the city and moved back as soon as I could.

The Birchwood Edinburgh

Brilliant brunch

""The Birchwood" in Edinburgh has become one of my favorite brunch spots! They have a big cooked breafkast and you can even try our beloved haggis..."

The current brunch trend has taken over Edinburgh and honestly, I’m not complaining. Forever on the hunt for a new brunch spot, I tried out what The Birchwood had to offer and it has quickly become one of my favourites.

This is a cosy and welcoming eatery located in the quaint Marchmont area. It is also a popular student residential area, meaning that it can be extremely busy on the weekend, especially for breakfast, so be sure to get there early to avoid being disappointed!

They have an extensive brunch menu with a variety of options from pancakes to smoked salmon bagels. However, I can never say no to a big cooked breakfast. The Birchwood offers a meat, veggie and vegan version of this British classic with extra Scottish twists. Take the opportunity to start your day off by trying our beloved Scottish national dish, the Haggis!

The Birchwood has a warm, homely feel making it the perfect place to come with friends and family for a meal or just a natter over a good cup of coffee.

S. Luca

Ice cream and sweet treats

"S. Luca" has been one of my favorite places in Edinburgh since I was a kid. What they're famous for is their own brand of ice cream - and I love it!

Pickles

Cosy wine bar

"Pickles" is a tiny wee wine bar in Edinburgh. The bar has a rustic Scottish feel to it, but the main reason I like it is their cheese and wine...

Craiglockhart Hill

The overlooked hill

Craiglockhart Hill is one of Edinburgh's 7 hills. In contrast to Calton Hill, Castle Hill and Arthur's Seat, even many locals can't name this one!

Corstorphine Hill

Not just the zoo

The zoo is one of Edinburgh's most popular tourist attractions. Next to it is "Corstorphine Hill" that's in my opinion much more interesting to explore!
