One of the larger contemporary art galleries in the city, The Fruitmarket puts on some big shows. It also has a fine variety of magazines and books in its shop. Particularly impressive is their use of whiskey as drink of choice for exhibition openings. Above the gallery is Waverley Bridge, Edinburgh’s most popular suicide spot.

Tucked away in the corner of the park is this little gem. It is one of only a handful in the city. Very few people come here. It is however frequented by Superclub members.

One of the great things about Edinburgh is its abnormally large number of gardens and open spaces, including seven hills in and around it. A walk up this particular one on a sunny day is really pleasant. To the North you can see over the city to the sea and to the South you can see right in to the dark depths of the Scottish countryside.

A cracking wee bookshop. They have an excellent range of arts magazines, journals, books and zines.
