The Chop Chop in Leith is the second Chop Chop in Edinburgh and it takes the experience of the first and applies them to a new location down in Leith. Chop Chop is a Chinese restaurant in the new but traditional style. By that I mean it’s not the anglicised Chinese restaurant that we’ve come […]
A photo gallery of the Invisible Worlds display in St Andrew’s Square
As part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival there is a collection of art on public display in St Andrew’s Square. The goal of the work is to explore what is not normally seen by the human eye; whether because it’s too small, too large or simply too far away. The photo gallery below was […]
Review of The Constitution Bar, Leith
The Constitution Bar is, as you might expect, situated towards the bottom of Constitution Street in Leith. The Bar is still “new” after having undergone a major renovation a few years ago.

Los Cardos […]

Review of Fascinating Mummies at the National Museum of Scotland
Fascinating Mummies is a newly installed exhibit at the National Museum of Scotland. It’s tucked away in gallery 1 on the third level of the building. This means if you enter from the new main entrance on the corner you have a bit of a walk to get to it – but head for the […]
