Edinburgh has been my home for years and, despite a couple of moves, I’ve found myself coming back every time for a hundred reasons. Some of these reasons are listed right here in my list of 100 free things to do in Edinburgh. Throughout this post, I’ve tried to group activities and places into categories, hopefully making it a little easier for you to choose one of two things together through during your time here (though I challenge you to try all 100!).

Our enormous lochs, dramatic landscapes and crumbling castles had the reader poll singing the country’s praises, and inspired a whole new set of travellers to book their tickets to see what all the…

What is VegFest?
I started eeeking out dairy and animal by-products in January. Milk and yogurt were the first (and easiest) to go. Chocolate and cheese have been tough… especially when you’re on a lunch break and don’t want to spend £7 on an avocado wrap in Pret!!! Vegfest kept showing up on Facebook every year, but it wasn’t until now that I pulled my finger out to go enjoy vegan cheese (Gary??) aplenty… and just enjoy being able to eat everything on offer!

It’s like god/Buddha/Allah/whoever/whatever had checked out my Easyjet seating allocation and postitioned me right next to my perfect pal. After chatting about our destination for a while, we got onto to topic of vegan dining in Edinburgh. And that’s when I got to realising … Edinburgh is pretty shoddy in terms of vegan eats. My 1 hour flight buddy knew very little of the offerings it has, (suggesting that what we do have really isn’t marketing itself to its full potential). However, in the last…
