With only 3 short days in this beautiful city, here are some of my favorite stops and recommendations:

- Hiking up Arthur’s Seat day or dusk! (especially when these golden flowers are in bloom around May)

- had the. best. fish. soup of my life at Fishers right on the water in the harbor. Also greatly appreciated the amount of salt flakes on the butter🧂

- mandatory coffee and pastry at The Milkman ☕️

- I sat in Princes Street gardens for a whole afternoon with my book and it was glorious 🌞

- visiting the Portrait Gallery museum, the inside is stunning and with so many interesting portraits of people important to Scottish history

- explored some of the many gardens and meadows

- more Scottish art & making me dream of a trip to the highlands 🐑

National Scottish Gallery - all the museums in Edinburgh, like in London, are free admission. So don’t miss out! This one is right across the Walter Scott monument

- walking around Victoria Street (aka Diagon Alley)

- Arthur's Seat hike at dusk

Other food ideas:

- Mussel & Steak bar for dinner.

- Honestly any fish and chips should be okay haha

- Ting Thai Caraven for lunch (one of my favs)

- Kim’s mini meal (Korean and not mini)

A short train ride up the coast to St. Andrew's

Just 30 miles (50 kilometres) northeast of Edinburgh

- shopping for books in Topping & Company

- Hiking in the lush Scottish greenery

- A completely different lanscape and feeling than Oxford. It was so fun to see what a different college experience could have been like in the Scotland
