Braid Burn | Morningside to Holyrood | Hiking Edinburgh
First of all, “hiking” is an exaggeration here, as the Braid Burn is on level ground, so it’s really just a long walk. But for the sake of organisational purposes on the blog here, it’s easiest to include this in…
Quarantine Diaries
I’ve been meaning to write this post for ages, and I’ve been putting it off the entire time. You might have noticed there’s been an absence of posts since I finished my Mexico & Cuba series. That’s partly because I’ve…
Havana, Part 2 | Cuba

Edinburgh Doors Open Days 2019
So last year I wrote two posts about the places I visited on Doors Open Days. This happens once a year (all over Scotland, not just Edinburgh), where they open up buildings and locations that the public can’t…
