Arts & Culture
Not only a thriving independent cinema which shows the latest film plus seasons of a specific genre or director's back catalogue but also a buzzy cafe bar serving drinks, light freshly cooked meals and coffees/cakes. If you ask for a plastic glass or takeaway cup you can take your drinks into the cinema with you. Great location for a meeting place as at the top of Lothian Road near Princes Street.

Parks & Nature
Not a simple park, more an experience of the countryside within striking distance of the city. You can't hear any city sounds when you are walking through the wooded ravine next to a tumbling burn. Take one of the many paths upwards and come out on top of Blackford Hill for panoramic views of the City.
