Have A Cup Of Joe At Artisan Roast

The affluent area of Bruntsfield is just one of the many brilliants parts of Edinburgh. Originally referred to as Brounysfelde or Brown’s Fields — in honour of the owner of Bruntsfield House — this part of town was built upon a snippet of land within the Burgh Muir. Today, this buzzing little cultural hub is bursting at the brim with exciting things to see and do. Plan your day and take a tour of bonnie Bruntsfield.
Come rain or shine, the Meadows is a perfect pocket of land in Edinburgh to lounge about, walk, or read a book. Bruntsfield Links — a 35-acre patch of open parkland that carries into the Meadows — is a good spot to set up fort. Take a picnic blanket (and extra layers) and enjoy the bustling vibes of passers by. Up until 1508, this area was all wooded. Hoards of people from dog walkers to students, cyclists, and even jugglers seem to gravitate to this spot.
Head back to the Links and start brushing up on those golf skills at the short hole golf course. Avid golf fanatics may find this spot a walk in the park. On the contrary, those who are new to this timeless Scottish sport might just find this particular course the perfect spot to work on that signature swing and putt away without any cares. If the practice session ends in tears, there are designated barbeque areas nearby for failed golfers to test out their chef capabilities.
