Living in Edinburgh with Grant Property

At Grant Property, we've provided homes in Scotland’s capital for a long time and have learnt more than most about the city's hotspots.

As you have no doubt seen from our previous blog posts, we want to share our knowledge with you so that when it comes to making a decision of where to live, you'll be sure it's the right one. 

Lifestyle

Edinburgh has lots of fashionable shops, and is also home to the famous Princes Street, which offers many high-street shopping destinations, as well as hip arts and crafts, cutting-edge fashion and unique Scottish jewellery.

With all the history which surrounds the city, you’ll never be stuck for things to see and do. There are tours, walks, and museums you can visit including a worthwhile trip to Edinburgh Castle where you can see the whole city!

Edinburgh offers some of the best restaurants in Scotland and is building a reputation for supplying the best European cuisine. If you’re looking for a tasty bite to eat, Edinburgh has lots to offer, from the famous Hard Rock Cafe on George Street to great little pubs and bistros throughout the city.

Nightlife

The capital has a breathtaking amount of bars and clubs. You don’t realise at first, but down nearly every lane and alleyway, there’s a pub or club to suit all your needs.

Take your pick from exclusive bars and clubs on George Street and Rose Street, to the Grassmarket where you can find trendy and relaxed bars such as the Dragonfly, Beehive Comedy Club or the Blue Blazer.

Whatever your taste, Edinburgh has an abundance of bars and clubs suited to everyone.

Entertainment

Edinburgh plays host to the world's largest comedy festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, throughout August, bringing acts such as Ricky Gervais and Bill Bailey to the many venues scattered throughout the city.

If you would rather scream with terror than with laughter, why not visit the truly horrifying Edinburgh Dungeons located under the city? Alternatively, there are tours of the underground performed by Auld Reekie tours which can be light-hearted and informative, or if you're brave enough, you can opt for the dark and frightening Ghost Tours.

As well as all this, you can also climb Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano located just outside the city, visit Our Dynamic Earth or visit the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo!
