All the Vennel’s, in all the world… safe to sa All the Vennel’s, in all the world… safe to say I’ve found my favourite 🥰 One of the best views of the castle in the whole city, there’s no way you can visit and not fall in love. 📍 The Vennel, Edinburgh
Spent the day at Holyrood Palace today, what a pla Spent the day at Holyrood Palace today, what a place! The Abbey ruins date back to 1128 and the rooms within the palace are incredible. There’s so much history, dating back to Mary Queen of Scots, the murder of David Rizzio, even Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite rising of 1745 (hello Outlander fans). A must visit if you are in Edinburgh, hands up if you’d love to visit? 🙌🏻
Imagine waking to this view each morning? The mu Imagine waking to this view each morning? The museum hasn’t reopened since lockdown began, but I can’t wait until it does ✨ 📍 Writers Museum
Who doesn’t love coffee and plants? Spent a lo Who doesn’t love coffee and plants? Spent a lovely afternoon at @growurban, had some lovely tea and cake and may have come home with a new plant or two. A string of pearls and a Chinese money plant 🪴 ALL the plant tips welcome 🌱 I’ve managed to kill so many over the years and 2022 is the year I’ll keep at least one alive 🙌🏻 📍 @growurban Grove Street
A new perspective of Victoria Street for you 🥰 A new perspective of Victoria Street for you 🥰 always look up when you are wandering, you never know what wee gems you might miss! New Years in Edinburgh has been cancelled, no torchlight procession this year. Or fireworks 🥺 it also happens to be my birthday (NYD), so I’ll be celebrating with a hot chocolate somewhere cosy 👌🏻 How do you spend New Year’s Eve? ✨
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all throug ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the town, was a girl in pretty bows, twirling all round…. A few festive favourites.. which is yours? Have a wonderful Christmas! ❤️🎄
ad | You cannot separate whisky from Scottish cult ad | You cannot separate whisky from Scottish culture, and @johnniewalkerprincesstreet embrace every part of that. And when Johnnie Walker say experience, they mean it! Whisky isn’t just for distinguished men with beards, who have tattoos and wear tweed, although I did take my husband with me ;) The tour ‘Journey of Flavour’ is a fully immersive experience telling the 200 year story of Johnnie Walker and shows that there truly is a whisky for everyone. It’s not only an amazing tour but would make a brilliant gift too along with personalised bottles and other gifts in their retail space. There’s a good old saying, Todays rain is tomorrows whisky.. and you’ll never be short of a drop or two here in Edinburgh! Have you tried whisky before? 🥃 Slainte! *Drink Responsibly* #keepwalking #johnniewalkerprincesstreet #drinkresponsibly
Here’s a fresh new angle of Edinburgh Castle 🏰 have you been for a visit? A couple of things you might not have known about the Castle: • St. Margaret’s Chapel (inside the Castle) is the oldest building in Scotland. • In 1838 the Castle was home to an Elephant! • It’s the most besieged place in Great Britain • It’s got its own Dog Cemetery, which you can see from the top. It’s a must see if you are visiting! ✨ 📍 Taken on a recent stay at @waedinburgh *pr invite* ✨
Tiny glimpses of the Christmas market on every cor Tiny glimpses of the Christmas market on every corner🎠 it’s so lovely having the twinkling lights all over the city, I wish some of them could stay a little longer ✨ The carousel is my all time favourite ride, yours? 📍 Scott Monument, Princes Street
Between the Christmas tree, the beautiful building Between the Christmas tree, the beautiful building with those dreamy windows, the curves of the wee wall and those lampposts, it’s a shot I couldn’t resist. Edinburgh University has some pretty amazing buildings dotted around the city. This is one of my favourites! 📍 Edinburgh University, Law Campus
Just when you think Edinburgh couldn’t get any b Just when you think Edinburgh couldn’t get any better… it’s snows. The kind of snow you see in movies, those big romantic, slow falling snowflakes. And it was pure magic… Which snowy scene is your favourite? 📍 St Cuthberts 📍 Milne Close 📍 Ramsay Garden 📍 Princes Street Gardens 📍 Cockburn Street 📍 Writers Museum 📍 Castle Esplanade
I could look at this view every day and always fin I could look at this view every day and always find something I’ve never noticed before. You can see all the way across the water, the new St James in the background and even a peek of Calton Hill. They don’t make buildings like this anymore, do they? ✨
Going to ease you gently into the festive content, Going to ease you gently into the festive content, because it’s still November… We’ve been promised snow soon, and it’s so cold (was -4°C this morning) that I’m surprised we haven’t had any yet! A white Christmas would be very welcomed this year ❄️ Hows the current weather where you are? 📍 Ramsay Garden
Good morning! I normally post in the evenings, w Good morning! I normally post in the evenings, when the kids have gone to bed and the day has become quiet, but I’ve had so much on lately with the festive season upon us, and the kids diaries fill up faster than mine. What’s your plans this weekend? ✨ Thank you to @sarahlferguson_ who took this (and a few others) on our last coffee date 💕 📍 Circus Lane
So many of you tell me how you are home sick for a So many of you tell me how you are home sick for a place you’ve never been. I feel like that sometimes and I live here. This little spot, right in the middle of a busy town centre, but so quiet you could get lost in a book and just sit here for hours. Who’s feeling a wee bit homesick? 📍 Scott Monument, Princes Street Gardens
Even though it’s just a photograph, I know you h Even though it’s just a photograph, I know you heard the bag pipes play in your head, question is - which song was it? 📍 The Royal Mile
Had a really beautiful reel to share but Instagram Had a really beautiful reel to share but Instagram isn’t playing the game today, so instead you have the castle framed by autumn. I’ll never get over how stunning Edinburgh looks during autumn, it’s the season it suits most, isn’t it? 🍂 📍 Princes Street Gardens
How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of lig How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days. - John Burroughs Cosy jumpers, cracking fires and walks amongst the leaves, are what autumns are made for. I thought everyone got to experience autumn! But I hear otherwise in the comments, do you have autumn where you are? 🍂
That stair case though 🥰 It’s like something That stair case though 🥰 It’s like something from a cinematic movie scene, I wouldn’t say no if anyone wanted to lend me a flowing ball gown so I can dramatically run down these stairs… anyone? ✨ 📍 Scott Monument
