Not a spectacular place, staff not all that friendly but why would they be - this place is famous for being the best fish&chips in town! Take away or sit in. Hint - their "small" fish&chips is not small at all!

Parks & Nature
Water of Leith goes near our house and it is a lovely walk either into the city or to the outskirts. Trees, waterfalls and beautiful old stone arches are just some of the attractions you will experience. It takes you past the Modern Gallery and you can use it to get to Royal Botanical Garden which are both sights not to be missed if you like nature or arts.
