Tamarin’s guidebook - some off the beaten track recommendations
Neighbourhoods
I live in this suburb of Edinburgh. It's super handy with great road and public transport links (the buses in Edinburgh are CHEAP), several supermarkets, pharmacies, parks and its own Caves - an excellent free tourist attraction.

If, like me, you love charity shops, this is the neighbourhood to hit up. it's a short stroll from the New Town and pretty Inverleith Park is right next door.

Sightseeing
This is such a well-kept secret. it's off the main tourist trail, so it's never besieged with visitors, yet gets rave reviews from all the locals and savvy travellers who go And best of all it's free. Gilmerton Cove is a short walk from my house (see my listing).

Need to escape the city? This is one of my faves. Parking is free and it's just a 15-20 minute drive from my listing. The sea is safe for swimming and the golden sands make it feel like you're abroad on a hot day. The Espy on the front is a great place for food and drink.

This is right next to my place; a super spot for a dog walk, or just some quiet contemplation close to running water.

This is so cool. But it's a proper hidden gem in the 'burbs. The tunnel has been covered in brilliant street art. And there are gorgeous walks close by - the Water of Leith to Colinton Dell is a highlight that few tourists find. It's a 15 min drive or 30 mins on the (Skylink) bus from my place.

Food scene
Mexican food and margaritas are just the best right? If you agree, you'll love the authentic soft tacos and frozen imbibements served up at this place.

Wellness
This is my fave place to bliss out. The restorative sessions are dreamy. I've not found a studio like it in Scotland. Perfect if you're here for the Fringe and feeling stressed out. And... breathe...

旅行者へのアドバイス
交通アクセス
Buses are SO cheap. All fares are equal and contactless.
You don't need to specify ticket type or carry cash. Once you've completed two journeys, Lothian Buses will automatically cap at a day pass. Night buses are slightly pricier, but still a total bargain.
必要な持ち物
Comfy shoes - there are hills and cobbles all over the shop.
Also, waterproof footwear is a must if you plan on being out all day and it isn't guaranteed sunshine.
節約術
How to get free tickets to paid Fringe shows
Book a trip during the first few days of the Fringe (before the official start) and you can get free tickets to some of the previews. People giving out flyers are often given tickets to give to passers-by in order to fill up shows during the first few days. The best spots are around George Square outside Assembly (particularly on the strip between Bristo Square and the entrance to the gardens, where the food trucks are) and Underbelly.
