Stockbridge is one of several old villages swallowed up by the city's nineteenth century expansion. Located just to the north of Edinburgh's Georgian New Town, it retains its village feel. Home to many bars, restaurants and bistros, there are some pretty cool shops here too.
The Bailie Bar on St Stephen Street anchors the neighbourhood's pub scene — a proper Edinburgh local on the cobbled lane that was once the city's bohemian heart.
Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden are a few minutes' walk to the north. Scotland play cricket internationals at The Grange Club on Raeburn Place.
