Review: Born in Scotland, a gift shop in Waverly Market

September 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Find quality Scottish gifts and souvenirs that go beyond the usual tartan tat at Born in Scotland, conveniently located next to Waverley Station.

Review: The Cocktail Geeks, a cocktail bar in the city centre

September 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Cocktail Geeks delivers a fantastic, themed experience. The Stranger Things decor was atmospheric, the staff attentive, and the drinks menu (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was a creative triumph. A top spot for an Instagram-worthy night out in the city centre.

Radar: A Taste of Spain Arrives in Edinburgh this September

September 9, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Clear your diaries and ready your appetites, because the nationwide celebration of Spanish food and wine, Eat Spain Drink Spain, is returning from the 12th to the 28th of September, and Edinburgh is right at the heart of the culinary fiesta.

Review: Joelato, a gelateria in Stockbridge

September 3, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

A review of Joelato in Stockbridge, one of Edinburgh’s premier artisan gelato shops, famous for its Perthshire farm-fresh ingredients and the queue it regularly commands.

Review: Chilo’s, a burger restaurant on Clerk Street

August 30, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chilo’s in Edinburgh’s Southside promises big things with its monster burgers and own-brand cola. The food is good, but the messy, unclean venue lets it down. A potentially great spot for a burger fix, if you can overlook the grime.

Review: Rama Coffee, a cafe in Inverleith

August 29, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Located on Inverleith Row, Rama Coffee offers a selection of excellent coffees from local roaster Machina, baked goods, and popular sandwiches in a bright and comfortable setting.

Review: The Finch, a pub on Bath Road

August 28, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Finch has successfully transformed a challenging Leith location into a destination pub. With its focus on high-quality craft beer, a wonderfully bright and chic interior, and a stunning beer garden, it’s a “hidden gem” that is rightly becoming one of the area’s most popular spots.

Review: Courtney Buchner: Big, If True – Fringe 2025

August 24, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A brilliantly constructed show about the very nature of truth in storytelling. Courtney Buchner’s performance is a slow burn that rewards your attention with a stunningly clever and hilarious final punchline that makes it all worthwhile.
