    I used to work in one of the gold bros tartan shops, and they literally bought Harry Potter merch from primark and sold it on at a massive mark up. They also have zero consideration for the well-being of their staff (ie would insist on all the doors being wide open in the middle of winter, 12hr shifts with illegally short breaks etc). Avoid at all costs!

      The tram is a bit hit and miss - when it runs it's the best way of getting to town, but when a single thing goes wrong, that's it, trams over 😐 but at least in Leith there are also sooo many buses to step in when things go awry!

    Growing up in Edinburgh there’s this real grumpy curmudgeonly attitude among locals where you’re obliged to be as negative and annoyed as possible about everything related to the festival and Fringe. It takes moving away and coming back to really appreciate it I think and realise that it’s pretty special to live in a city that isn’t just a boring concrete wasteland and actually has fun interesting things happening in it!

    As someone who has lived in Edinburgh since 2020, I've managed to avoid the Fringe carnage ever since.

    I live in a small city in Canada with really not a whole lot to do or see & I have to say I'm shocked at how much cheaper Edinburgh is compared to here. We pay the equivalent of 1350 for a 1+den here inclusive of council tax. In Toronto you wouldn't even be able to find a shared apartment for 1200 pounds. Coffee seems to be a similar price but a pint is double the price here. Your groceries also seem to cost quite a bit less. We spent the equivalent of 500 pounds/month on food (if we're careful).
