Hi, I’m Fiona, I am the founder of Discovering Edinburgh
My mission is to help you discover the beauty and history of Scotland’s Capital – there are plenty of things to do, see, eat, and explore!
I was born in Australia and grew up doing Highland Dancing and playing the bagpipes and I always knew I would one day move to Scotland.
The day I moved out of home for the first time was when I moved to Scotland – with too many bags, $500, and a one-way ticket, but that’s another story for another day.
I originally moved to Inverness but after a day trip to Edinburgh, I fell in love with the city and decided I needed to live in Edinburgh.
As an Edinburgh newbie with a huge bucket list and a tonne of wanderlust, I explored every corner of Edinburgh and I can’t wait to share all of my insider knowledge with you.
What to Expect
Whether you visit Edinburgh for a day, a week, or a month, there is plenty to do. As an ex-expat, I have seen the city through a tourist’s eyes and a local eyes so I have ticked off all typical things to do as well as off-the-beaten-path things to do.
If you are looking for practical information, the history of Edinburgh, things to do, activities, tours, places to stay, or where to eat – I have you covered.
Join me as we uncover everything this beautiful city has to offer.
Why Me?
So why should you ask me for help? Who is better than someone who visited the city as a tourist and then became a local to show you what Edinburgh has to offer?
I want you to fully immerse yourself in the city and to feel as though you have explored the city like the locals and left no stone unturned.
