Stockbridge was made for lazy afternoons and long coffee dates with your partner or friends. This Edinburgh neighbourhood is known for its second-hand shops, Sunday market, and the Water of Leith Walkway, which connects the area with the lively Leith Shore and historic Dean Village. I couldn’t think of a better afternoon out hitting all three and finishing the day at one of the best cafes in Stockbridge.
