Edinburgh is a fantastic example of supporting the local producers – every weekend there is a fresh market or few to choose from, to get that fresh goodies kick. The offer is as varied as it is fresh, and there is the added bonus of exceptional atmosphere to go with 
your shopping. Face to face shopping with those who actually have made/grown the products available, and it is well worth the moment to spend talking with the producers, informing yourself of where the meat, fish, fruit, vegetable, baked goodies or hand-made crafts actually come from. It is more a social enterprise than just another shopping experience.
The Edinburgh Address has many apartments conveniently located just around the corner from some of the best Edinburgh fresh markets, to make it easy for our guests to nip out for a fresh bun with some home-made jam or other delicacies for your breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.
Just up the road from The Stylish City Break @ Gayfield Square and a short walking distance from South Charlotte Street @ Charlotte Square there is the St. Mary’s Market, just in front of St. Mary’s Cathedral on Cathedral Lane. The market is every Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and is one of the community-focused markets, which also supports various social projects within Edinburgh city and the Lothian area, and are committed to reinvesting part of our profits from stall rent into projects that benefit the local community with a focus on employability and skill development.
Just across the road from Apartment Castle Terrace @ 9A and Garden Apartment @ Castle Terrace, and short walking distance (less than 10 minutes) from The West End Retreat @ Lynedoch Place, Drumsheugh Apartment @ Drumsheugh Gardens and The Studio @ Drumsheugh Gardens is the most popular market in the city; the Edinburgh Farmers’ Market. With over 55 specialists attend every Saturday (9am to 2pm, on Castle Street) with their artisan goodies, fresh bakes, vegetables and fruits and fresh dairy, meat and fish products. With the quirky add of the smallest café on wheels, the Edinburgh 
Farmers’ Market is somewhere you want to spend a good hour browsing for the best for you daily needs. Or if you just want to drop by for a quick snack, make sure to try some of the best hamburgers and other delish dishes cooked and served smoking hot and ready to eat (especially head for the MacPherson family’s Well Hung and Tender stall – you won’t regret it!).
Near our lovely Stockbridge Grandeur @ Carlton Street apartment, there is the artisan Stockbridge Market, Sundays from 10am to 5pm, on the corner of Saunders and Kerr Street’s (not too far to walk from our other city centre apartments, mind you!). The Stockbridge Market brings that extra bit of grandeur to the artisan delicacies in offer; where the farmers bring in their freshest of products with traders and specialty producers from all over, including Scotland’s own as well as French and Italian specialties. Just the idea of those French cheeses and wide selection of antipasti makes my tummy growl.
Have a delicious stay in UK's happiest city!
