The Pastry Section Edinburgh
Incredible sweet treats
I was first introduced to The Pastry Section when my friend brought me a box of some of their brownies to try. She prefaced by saying they were the best brownies she’d ever tasted so it’s safe to say that I was very excited to give them a try. They were wonderful. Not only were they extremely chocolatey with melt in the mouth texture but they also came in a variety of unusual flavour combinations.
Ever since then, I knew I had to come visit their café in person. Located on Stockbridge high street this is a small and cosy café. Every day they have a plethora of baked goodies to choose from as well as hot drinks.
As the store is pretty small, it can fill up easily, but you can always take away a coffee and cake to bring home with you. If brownies aren’t your thing you can try another one of their delectable goodies from cheesecake, to sponge cakes to biscuits there is something here to suit everyone’s sweet tooth.

Pickles
Cosy wine bar
"Pickles" is a tiny wee wine bar in Edinburgh. The bar has a rustic Scottish feel to it, but the main reason I like it is their cheese and wine...

Craiglockhart Hill
The overlooked hill
Craiglockhart Hill is one of Edinburgh's 7 hills. In contrast to Calton Hill, Castle Hill and Arthur's Seat, even many locals can't name this one!

Corstorphine Hill
Not just the zoo
The zoo is one of Edinburgh's most popular tourist attractions. Next to it is "Corstorphine Hill" that's in my opinion much more interesting to explore!
