Parks & Nature
Takes 40mins to walk up -stunning views of the city. Top tip - if your not feelings as fit, climb The Craggs instead (it's the hill next to it.)
If you want a good view of Arthur's seat, the craggs and Carlton hill I recommend walking along St Leonards Bank until you reach the end, there is a little walk path which takes you to a vantage point.

This is a neighbourhood that has quickly stolen my heart. Lots of history and culture! Many independent shops, bars, restaurants and the shoreline (old docks) are stunning esp at night. Look out for different markets that pop up. It's a very creative area so look out for street art and murals. If your a film buff - lots of iconic scenes from a Trainspotting is located here.

A little out of town but easy to get to is Crammond. It is a small old village with a beauty history and setting. The river almond with its salmon, trout and wildlife is in one direction. The Long beach is one the other side. Top tip - on low tide you can't walk across to Crammond island. Just be careful of your timings so that you can get back to land in time.
