We stopped by Underbelly at George Square yesterday, which is one of our favourite spots during the Fringe. There were food trucks, an outdoor bar, astroturf, and a thousand people around, but we still found a cosy corner to sit and eat.

This place is actually part of Fringe history. Underbelly started back in 2006 and turns 20 this year. Their purple branding and the iconic upside-down inflatable cow have become a bit of a Fringe symbol. They're now one of the festival's biggest producers, with over 2,500 shows across 20 venues last year alone.

Even when the Fringe is at its busiest, you can still find a quiet corner to sit with family or friends. I highly recommend it if you're in Edinburgh during the festival🎪

🌅Arthur's Seat just crowned the best sunrise & sunset spot in the UK!

Edinburgh's beloved extinct volcano has beaten some seriously stunning competition, including Southwold Pier and Dorset's Durdle Door, to take the top spot in a UK-wide ranking by award-winning photographer Bella Falk.

And the best part? It's completely free.

If you’re in Edinburgh during cherry blossom season, The Meadows should be high on your list.

Bring a coffee, take a slow walk, and don’t be surprised if you end up taking far too many photos.

Dreaming of a moment like this?

A bench under the cherry blossoms, a good friend beside you, and a conversation that lasts far longer than planned.

Spring in Edinburgh really does know how to slow time down.

Beautiful April in Edinburgh.

A few lovely signs of spring from last weekend in Edinburgh

The first cherry blossoms, fresh flowers, and that soft spring feeling that makes everything look a little brighter. It’s such a lovely time to be outside and notice the season slowly changing 💛
