This is a lovely relaxed way to spend a Sunday in Edinburgh with a leisurely start at 12 midday with Scottish gin mock/cocktails and smoked salmon canapes in a gorgeous 18th century. This tour is similar to the Friday tour, but we make a detour to the wonderful Sunday Morning Stockbridge Farmers Market. And meet the people behind Caithness Smokehouse to try some of their unique smoked butter -yes butter and smoked cheese and seaweed chutney – I promise you its delicious.
Then haggis – meat or veggie in a traditional pub, then a walk along the most instagrammed street in Edinburgh to be rewarded with freshly churned Perthshire ice cream and finish with a single malt whisky from Islay in a speak easy bar.
This tour focuses on the best of Scottish food sourced from independent suppliers taking in the magnificent UNESCO Georgian New Town, (the largest Georgian city in the world) and vibrant Stockbridge village.
We finish near the Sunday Morning Stockbridge Market – which is open till 4pm, so you can return at your leisure to try more Scottish foods such as honey, cakes, breads, jam as well as adorable tartan accessories for your four-legged friends and local art.
This afternoon food tour is a lovely way to access some of the best of Scottish food in a beautiful part of Edinburgh that is not really on the tourist trail and is a great complement to The Old Town. I recommend doing an Old Town tour first as The New Town ( well, it was new in 1745!) was built as result of over crowding in the medieval Old Town which grew up round The Castle.
The Sunday Morning Stockbridge Market tour offers a very generous lunch with architectural and historical amuse-bouche such as why are there so many painted windows in The New Town? Book a tour and find out why over an Islay single malt in a iconic pub which only plays vinyl – rock n roll or jazz
NOTE St Bernard’s bar is not licensed for under 18’s on the premises, so this Sunday tour can cater for under 18s up to the last stop where there is the over 18 restriction
