One of the most striking features of Edinburgh is the way that every area has its own distinct persona – an architectural and social character unlike any other. With every region offering something new and unique, the draw of returning to this beautiful city is amplified by the distinctive experiences offered throughout its many geographical genres.

Located a little over a mile from Waverley Station, the cluster of gorgeous Bruntsfield, Marchmont and Morningside combines an intriguing blend of history and character with a contemporary, bohemian flair. More secluded than the city centre, this charming cultural hub offers a wealth of exciting things to do and see for Edinburgh newcomers and connoisseurs alike. Plan your day and let The Edinburgh Address take you on a tour of the best that Bruntsfield and the surrounding burghs have to offer.

Partake in a round at Bruntsfield Links

Golf



There’s very little that is more Scottish than a spot of Golf – and luckily Bruntsfield Links offers you the opportunity to participate in such an endeavour. The club is one of the oldest golfing establishments in Edinburgh and is steeped in heritage.

Grab lunch at Falko Konditormeiser

Falko

With the smell of warm bread drifting from the shop doors, visitors to Falko will be enticed by the store’s aroma long before they step foot through the door. This traditional German bakery offers a variety of bread, pastries and alternative delights. Why not head along early and enjoy a delicious Bavarian breakfast, or arrive later in the day for those famous pasties and cakes.

Pander to your sweet tooth at Coco

Coco

If you’re a fan of chocolate, then Bruntsfield certainly has the shop for you! Specialising in hand-crafted, organic and - most importantly – truly delicious chocolate, Coco has become a haven for sweet lovers since it opened its doors in 2004. Why not pander to your indulgent side and enjoy a visit to their shop on Bruntsfield Place, where you’ll find an array of special chocolate products – with flavours ranging from the traditional to the truly unique! G&T chocolate anyone? Yes please. Alternatively, why not sign up for one of their Chocolate Connoisseur Evenings – where you will learn about the production process and of course taste a sample or two!

Soak up the sun (or rain!) in the meadows

Meadows

With so many independent shops, cafés and bakeries in Bruntsfield, why not fill your day relaxing in and around one of Edinburgh’s most celebrated public parks. Weather permitting; lay back and bask in this idyllic pasture beneath the shadow of Arthur’s seat. Or if that warm Scottish sunshine fails to materialise, why not take a stroll through this expansive park or enjoy a coffee from one of the many tea shops perched on the park’s periphery.

Pick up some gorgeous gifts at Halibut and Herring

Hallibut

There are many lovely shops in Bruntsfield and Halibut and Herring is one of our favourites. This fantastic little shop is like a treasure trove for all things beautiful. It’s the perfect place to pick up a unique piece of jewellery, a great cushion or luxurious throw, or a teddy for the little ones.
