Neighbourhoods
Lots of great pubs and restaurants. About a 20 minute walk away going the most direct route. I recommend walking along the cycletrack that is accessed from Victoria Park and takes you along the Water of Leith. This takes about 30 mins, see map attached.
Recommended restaurants:
For Excellent Seafood - Fishers
For Fine Dining - The Kitchin
For the Beer Garden - Teuchters Landing
For the Best Bao Buns
