Louise's Saturday Share - there's that slight chill to the air and the light is softer, more golden. September is here. Massive move out week in the office. There were times when it all felt a bit overwhelming but we've all worked through the chaos and are headed for the calm. That's a most satisfying feeling. Great team effort this week and I'm feeling grateful for that. Ann street is looking so beautiful in the early morning sun today. 🌸🤩

📍Dundas Street

Have you discovered just how interesting our very own Dundas Street in New Town is? A lovely wide avenue lined with Georgian buildings, antique stores, cafes, art galleries and more.

Planned in 1802 as part of the first extension of Edinburgh’s New Town and designed by architects Robert Reid and William Sibbald, it stretches from Princes St down to Canonmills. From the higher end you can enjoy views towards the Kingdom of Fife across the Firth of Forth. Crossed by famous historical streets such as Cumberland Street, Great King Street and Northumberland Street it’s in the very heart of Georgian New Town.

Researching for this wee blurb it was fascinating to find it had trams running up and down its relatively steep slope. And did you know that the lower end used to be called Pitt Street? If you look up you can still see the faded ghost signs painted Pitt Street on the buildings’ stone at various points (frame 10).

Dundas Street also played a key part in Dickins family life. In 1987 Louise’s family moved from Yorkshire to 27 Dundas Street.

❤️ If you have any stories of your own from Dundas Street, let us know in the comments! We’d love to hear your memories of it.

Louise's Sunday Share - Edinburgh nights. The view of the city from Waterloo Place is always stunning especially as the light of the day fades. 20 Calton Hill. Currently featuring on BBC2's A House Through Time. It's a fascinating watch. And the streets of the Old Town deserted at 12.30am when I walked home v early on Monday morning after the most amazing concert with Oscar Dudamel and his orchestra in The Hub. One of those life affirming concerts, that's brimming with joy. We are so incredibly lucky to have all this incredible talent on our doorstep in August.

📍The Palmerston
Palmerston Place, West End
Honestly one of the best bakes I’ve had.
The crispiest, creamiest, chewiest, crumbliest meringue-topped,icing sugar dusted delight! A former bank, the big arched windows, cornicing and monochrome floors give those timeless European city vibes. 10/10

📍Lannan Bakery
Hamilton Place, Stockbridge
Worth every inch of the hype. Exceptional pastries, incredible choice in a beautiful, authentic small space. Takeaway only. Skip the queues by pre-ordering a few days in advance. Adore

📍 Sloe Lane Bakery
Leith Walk
A favourite sunny spot. If they have it, go for a chocolate and tahini cookie-soft and gooey and salty and sweet. Alongside an
Iced latte with brown sugar. Supercute

📍Ante
Haddington Place, Leith Walk
Always returning here again and again for the beautiful bakes and kind staff.
Baked with a light touch, subtle flavours and interesting combinations. Loveeee

📍Peregrine (formerly Gorse)
The Pleasance
The warmest of welcomes, insanely creative bakes, a cute aesthetic and rooted in Northern Ireland. And your doggo will get all the love here. A little in love with this one 💛

📍Patina
Edinburgh Park
Hop on the tram to Patina for some delicious bakes, great choice, a lovely light-filled space and a delicious loaf of sourdough

📍Dune
South Queensferry
Could never leave Dune off the list. Forever a favourite with insanely delicious weekend specials and a cute seaside town location. They’ve just moved into a larger premises with more seating & views!! Run don’t walk 🏃🏻‍♀️
