If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I’ve spent this past week in Scotland with James! Our first stop was Edinburgh, and we spent two days here. On the first day, I had a look around the University and walked around the city. In the evening we had dinner at David Bann followed by drinks and board games at BrewDog. We actually had plans to sample a couple of bars, but it was so cosy and relaxed in BrewDog we decided to stay – there’s such a nice vibe there and I can’t wait to return!
James doesn’t love having his photo taken, so I’ve noticed I have a lot of photos of the back of his head. I do know him, and I’m not stalking him, I promise!
We spent the second day in the National and Modern Scottish National Galleries. Although they’re a little walk from the town centre, both buildings are really beautiful and they have some nice exhibitions – my favourite was Louise Bourgeois. I think I prefer small art galleries like these because I can take most of it in without feeling overwhelmed. We ate a lot this day (at Hendersons and Hula) and I even tried a deep-fried mars bar, which was delicious! We definitely needed longer to explore the city properly, so hopefully either me or James will be living in Scotland doing a Masters next year. I loved Edinburgh – it’s full of history, beautiful buildings and cool places to eat, drink and shop whilst being a relatively small city!
I’m so jealous! Hopefully one of these days I’ll make it over there. Lovely photos, thanks for sharing!

I keep reading about deep fried Mars bars in fiction, an thought they were a joke… but they’re not?! Lovely photos – thank you!

The mars bar sounds delicious, I’ve once seen Nigella Lawson make fried bounty and snickers bars. And I like your photo’s, thanks for letting me tag along on your trip
I am from the home of the deep fried mars bar, can’t believe edinburgh is stealing our fame! They are tasty though, in a horribly guilty calorie way! Glad you liked the capital. It’s pretty cute, my boyfriend has a job after the summer there so I better start loving it! Edinburgh does do a museum like no-one else!

I love that you tried a deep fried mars bar! We used to get them whilst performing at the festival and it was enough to share one between three, they are SO sickly xxx
