what’s on
The next seven days in Edinburgh.
A short, hand-kept list — not a full calendar. We don’t try to list every gig and pop-up; we list the ones worth rearranging your week for. Updated daily.
A quieter week in Edinburgh.
Nothing on our editor’s shortlist for the next seven days — we list events the way we list walks, with one ear to the ground rather than a firehose. We’ll be back with picks soon. Meanwhile, the city is still walkable: here are four routes that read well any day of the week.

Four walks for an empty week.
Arthur's Seat: the volcano in the middle of the city
An extinct volcano, a clifftop traverse, and the whole of Edinburgh from the summit cairn.
Blackford Hill: the observatory, the view, and the burn below
The southern hill with the old observatory, the city laid out, and a wooded glen down to the burn.
Calton Hill: the monuments and the view
The unfinished Parthenon, Nelson's telescope tower, and the whole city laid out below.
The West End: Charlotte Square and the Moray curves
Adam's grand square, the Georgian House, Moray Place's twelve sides, and a cathedral to close on.
