In November I was lucky enough to explore Edinburgh with my boyfriend Charlie, best friend Emily and her boyfriend Patrick. We went for a long weekend, Friday morning until Sunday evening. I was so nervous about the long train journey, but apart from it being delayed by over an hour, it went pretty well. I did end up printing the wrong tickets which would have been a disaster if it wasn’t for the lovely man working at the train station!
On the second day, we explored more of the Christmas markets and did a lot of Christmas shopping. It was cold but so fun. We ate vegan haggis in Hendersons which was incredible. I definitely recommend visiting Hendersons if you are ever about in Edinburgh, amazing vegan and vegetarian food! The vegan haggis was a bit like stuffing really, paired with mash it was the ideal comfort meal after being in the cold!
The Christmas market was absolutely packed but so fun. We bought ourselves some Scotland Christmas tree ornaments a little gingerbread man that’ll make a great gift for my pup!
I have officially fallen head over hills in love with Edinburgh and can’t wait to go back. I’d love to see it in the summertime (although chances are it won’t be much warmer!)
Have you ever been? I’d love some recommendations of where to go on my next visit!
