Stockbridge
A village within the city: delis, charity shops and a Sunday market by the river.
Stockbridge is where locals send visitors who want to see Edinburgh living rather than performing. The Sunday market brings street food and produce, the charity shops are famous for what the New Town donates, and the cafés are among the best in the city. Combine it with the Water of Leith walk from Dean Village.
When it works
Mostly under cover, so light rain is fine. Best morning, afternoon.
Good for locals' favourite, a date and going solo.
