10 things to do on a Misty Day in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is a magical city, and a misty day just adds to its charm. Here’s a list of 10 things to do that complement the cozy, atmospheric vibe of misty weather: 1. Have a Coffee and pastry in a cozy cafe. Edinburgh has many cozy coffee spots. Visit the Elephant House, known as the birthplace of Harry Potter, or the Milkman for artisan coffee and a relaxing vibe. 2. Enjoy a Full Scottish Breakfast. Traditional cafes like Salt Cafe and City cafe are probably a great choice, but I would recommend The Edinburgh Larder as their Scottish Breakfast is another level. 3. Explore Edinburgh Old Town. Wandering through the misty, cobbled streets of the Old Town feels like stepping into history. Stroll down the Royal Mile, passing hidden closes (alleyways) like Mary King's Close or Advocate’s Close. 4. Visit Edinburgh Farmers' Market. Held every Saturday at Castle Terrace, the Edinburgh Farmers' Market offers a fantastic selection of local produce. You’ll find fresh vegetables, meats, Scottish cheeses, and artisanal goods like breads and pies. It's a great spot to taste local treats, chat with farmers, and even grab a warm venison burger or Scotch pie. 5. Enjoy a Scotch Whisky Experience. Located on the Royal Mile, this tour takes you through the whisky-making process via a fun barrel ride. You'll enjoy whisky tastings, explore the sensory room, and see a stunning collection of over 3,500 bottles of whisky. 6. Take a Ghost Tour. Edinburgh's misty atmosphere is perfect for a spooky ghost tour. Join a walking tour that ventures into Greyfriars Kirkyard or the underground vaults to hear eerie tales of the city's haunted past. 7. Explore the National Museum of Scotland. This vast, interactive museum is ideal for escaping the weather. From Scottish history to science, it has plenty to explore. The rooftop terrace also offers spectacular misty views of the city skyline. 8. Relax in The Scottish National Gallery. Escape the damp and take in beautiful artwork by both Scottish and international artists. The gallery houses works by Turner, Van Gogh, and Scottish artists like Sir Henry Raeburn. 9. Warm up at a Traditional Pub. Settle into a cozy pub with a fireplace. Try a classic like The Sheep Heid Inn (one of Scotland's oldest pubs) or The Royal Oak, where you can enjoy a pint of ale, some live folk music, and hearty Scottish fare. 10.Shop for Scottish goods. Wonder around Royal Mile, Victoria Street and Grassmarket to look for local goods. From Traditional tartan scarves and blankets to Scottish shortbread and fudge, you would definitely find something made this a memorable trip! #100waystotravel

Greyfriars Bobby Statue

Greyfriars Kirkyard is an absolute must-see when visiting Edinburgh! The atmosphere is so unique — peaceful, mysterious, and full of fascinating history. The old tombstones and monuments are incredible to explore, and you can feel the charm of the city’s past all around you. Don’t miss the touching story of Greyfriars Bobby — the little dog who became a symbol of loyalty and love. His statue just outside the gates is adorable and makes for a great photo stop! The cemetery is very well maintained, easy to walk around, and located right in the heart of the Old Town, close to many other attractions. Perfect for a quiet stroll, great photos, and a moment of reflection. Absolutely worth a visit — highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
