Felt like the right choice to visit Oink Edinburgh on a weekend when Alternative Edinburgh does a cameo on its own tour..

The best part is that I got the chance to host this exclusive group until Sunday.

Congratulations! 🙏

Back with a new video to swipe away the Monday blues. This time we are about to explore the origins of creating the Harry Potter Wizarding World. Real locations and research will reveal the streets where it all started. Not to mention the pinch of dry humor, which is now the trademark of the Maniac. Fingers crossed for a good week 🤣✌🎬

Perhaps neither the travel mania nor the Harry Potter mania is in full blast. Don't worry, this is your fast pass to the iconic locations that inspired J.K Rowling during the creation of the books.

The much-loved Typewronger Books is also featured as Tom has introduced his online store.

The maniac is back and the force is with him. Hakuna Matata!

In this episode of Edinburgh Travel Maniac, the itinerary will take you to some of the most iconic Edinburgh locations that inspired J.K Rowling during the c...

Eat better and live better this Christmas 🎄

🎁🎄🎄CHRISTMAS ORDERS AND GIVEAWAY! 🎄🎄🎁

We have seen so many kind messages in the last few days, especially from those who cancelled their bookings, expressing their sympathies and we really appreciate it. Although we completely understand the latest government advice to keep everyone safe, hospitality businesses are in difficult positions right now with people staying at home and empty restaurants and no government support.

🌲To help us out and save yourself some cooking and dirty dishes, why not order some of your Christmas food from us? We’re offering our homemade nut loafs and haggis with sides to be ordered for delivery or collection. You can read more about it on our website, see link at the bottom of this post!

🌲Even if you are one of those well organised people and already are sorted for Christmas, please like and share this post to help us reach more people and keep afloat during this difficult period. We’re going to give away 💰£40💰 worth of gift vouchers for one lucky person who likes, shares and comments!

We really hope everyone can have some nice time over the festive season and stays healthy so that we can all look forward to 2022. 🙏🤞

Need your opinion 🙏

How would you like to attend an event where we all meet at a venue and you could order food from anywhere via Deliveroo. I mean any place in the city regardless of taste, diet, and cuisine?

The whole movement is to promote climate change, that we people can act together and we are able to do things differently, in a more sustainable way.

Dogs are welcome. 🌏

Introduction

Hi, David is here. The founder of Edinburgh's independent guide project - Alternative Edinburgh - a name derived from our multi-stop approach to city exploration.

We are visual art and hospitality experts by trade, history lovers and enthusiastic urban explorers by nature. We're passionate about all there is to discover in Edinburgh, from the hidden gems, landmarks, food to music to art, & shopping for unique finds.

Our boutique adventures are designed to give you real insider access to Edinburgh's vibrant local lifestyle, culture & rich history.

From the best secret cocktail bars, to shopping from independent local retailers, historical landmarks and off the beaten path neighbourhoods, we cover it all.
