The bustling Sunday market on Saunders Street showcases vendors selling everything from artisanal cheeses to vintage treasures. The Water of Leith provides peaceful walking paths, while the nearby Royal Botanic Garden offers acres of natural beauty. Cosy gastropubs and casual bistros dominate the dining scene with Scottish fare at moderate prices. Most accommodation is elegant Georgian townhouse B&Bs or boutique guesthouses that maintain the neighborhood's intimate atmosphere.
