Joanna's Stockbridge Guide
Neighbourhoods
Stockbridge is one of the most loved areas of Edinburgh by both locals and visitors.
It has plenty of cute independent shops, cafes, restaurants and wine bars. One of my favourite parts of the area is Inverleith Park with stunning panoramic views of Edinburgh - perfect for a picnic on a sunny day! Another place that’s a must see in the area is a Dean Village - a fairy tale like hidden gem in the middle of the city, making it for a lovely walk too.
And if you are a plant lover, you cannot miss the Botanic Gardens, also only a stroll away from the flat.
Last but not least, make sure to walk through Circus Lane on your way to or from town - it’s one of the most picturesque streets of Edinburgh!
