The purpose of Edinburgh Uncovered is to strip away the layers that make up Scotland’s beguiling capital and expose its beating heart. You won’t find the real Edinburgh City among the retail chains and franchise diners that clog its main thoroughfare. Nor will you find its essence lurking amidst the tartan tat outlets that constrict the Old Town.

The quintessential Auld Reekie lies deeper than that, hidden in plain view and yet discernible only to those who seek it. Just off the beaten track but far beyond the guidebooks and tourist trails lies an enchanted city just waiting to be discovered.

Edinburgh Uncovered reveals the unseen vistas, architectural quirks, illicit raves and urban art projects that make this city truly special. There’s space for pubs and clubs and restaurants too of course, but there’s also so much more. The intention of this guide is not merely to inform but to entertain, for information without expression is just data.

If you would like to share something with Edinburgh Uncovered, be it an event, eatery, walk, pub or favourite place, get in touch and we will endeavour to feature it. Over the course of the coming months, we aim to expand this guide until it provides comprehensive coverage of all that’s worth seeking out in the city we love and live in.
