My sister has just moved to Edinburgh from the States (Mom is British and we’ve got dual citizenship) and we’ll be spending a few months visiting her in December and January.

I’m a musician who wants to play piano while I’m in town, would be happy to play at a pub or an open mic or a jam night. Maybe the university has a music building that opens to the public?

I’m a singer/songwriter, would be happy to serenade folks if there’s an interested crowd. Just need somewhere to blow off some steam during a long family experience.

I haven’t been back to Edinburgh in years and I am so excited to get to know the city again!

Thanks for your help!

I've googled and all I've been getting is suggestions for it being some sort of ventilation contraption, but when I look up 'ventilation on top of roof in Scotland' all the options look different!

Is it a skylight guard maybe, or just decorative? It looks like a really tiny balcony which would be ridiculous and it's frying my brain 😅

Walking to work this morning near port of leith tram stop a crow just flew into the back of my head? Not sure if it was trying to get me away from its nest or anything but I was quite surprised. Has this happened to anyone else around there??

I heard Craigentinny Restalrig and Lochend have been proven the worst for dog poo complaints and tiny cameras are being put up to catch people name and shame and fine them? Has anyone else heard this?

It sounded like a new announcement women on the train to Edinburgh this morning - the now one sounds even more AI and robotic than the old one, but weirdly also way more Glaswegian?

I'm fairly sure the announcement in the train was using the old voice, do they just roll this out piecemeal?

The boring shit you think about while stuck 9n a 20 minute delayed train.

Guys I’m a learner driver and so many of you non learners throw me OFF with your aggressive beeping when I can’t get my fckn car going after I’ve stalled. Bare with us?? I had a Tesla beep me for legit a whole minute after I panicked at traffic lights and it threw me off SO much. Why do you do it :(

Rainbow Arch (Morrison St) was the most deliciously magical Chinese takeaway I've ever had. It disappeared for a while, then one day I googled it and managed to order from what seemed to be a secret Deliveroo page! But never found it again since. Does anyone know what happened to it and if there's anywhere I can get their incredible vegan duck? Nowhere else compares with their vegetarian deliciousness, although Soul Vegan is pretty close!

Does anyone know of a shop that has some stock of this???

Hoping to avoid using amazon.

Moved to Edinburgh a little over a month ago and my dog is finally making the trip over to me! I love taking him everywhere with me so was hoping for recommendations on good places to hang out with a furry friend in the city (or out of it, too?). Pubs/restaurants, outdoor activities, shops, anything!

does anyone know any affordable driving instructors currently I’m on £95 for 2 hours which is a bit expensive. i’m looking for an automatic instructor ideally.

Any solo activities recommendations during the weekend?
Im new to Edinburgh.

Hey, I saw a big cycle group coming down Bellevue which turned off into East Claremont St. Wondering who they are as I’m a cyclist looking for a social group ride!

Just wondering the above, was passing by and saw them completely shut down. Does anyone know when, since there’s reviews from just over a month ago. Been around for over 40 years, he even did my mum’s hair, so bit personal for me

I’m looking to start driving lessons in the coming months. I’m in my mid-30s, regret not learning earlier and looking to sort that now after returning to Edinburgh from living away for some time.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for driving instructors in Edinburgh.

Hi everyone! Bit of a long shot, but I stupidly left my tote bag on the bus this morning.
I took the number 5 from Newington Road shortly after 6am and got off at South Bridge at approximately 6:10am.
The bag is a distinctive UK Project on Nuclear Issues tote, containing clothes and personal belongings.
I’ve already submitted a lost property report to Lothian Buses, but thought I’d try here too in case anyone happened to spot it or hand it to the driver.
I would be incredibly grateful for any information!
Thank you so much!

Do clubs in edinburgh accept the youngscot as id?dont wanna take my passport to the club every time I go.Thank you in advance🙏

Can anyone recommend somewhere to take a speaker for repair?

edit: thank u guys!!!! the princes street branch was infact open and i got some cute earrings ^_^ thank you!!!

Been craving this like crazy but the places I've checked only have the chicken one. Most likely to be found in Slavic/maybe Middle Eastern markets. I used to get them back home from Balkan markets but alas, no Balkan stores here. My tastebuds thank you in advance for any leads you may have!!

Hi all

I’m looking for recs for great authentic Chinese food. I don’t mean “British Chinese” I mean as close as possible to genuine dishes people actually eat in China.

Bonus points for affordability. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi. Hosting a birthday party and needing to find a free/very cheap function suite I can hire out in Edinburgh! Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

Hi there! My girlfriend and I are looking to get some cute matching Halloween nails. It would be nice to have some kind of small nail art addition to share, but we do not have much money. Maximum spend is probably around £50 total. Is this even possible? I find price lists online to be quite vague. I don’t know what the protocol is for things like this and can get anxious about doing the wrong thing. Any recommendations for friendly lowkey nail spots would be great.
