Stockbridge has got it all; independent boutique shopping, awardwinning restaurants, the picturesque Water of Leith and traditional
colony houses, so it’s no wonder it’s such a sought-after place to live
in Edinburgh.
Stockbridge boasts a bustling weekly market
where you can pick up fresh, local produce. The
vibrancy of Stockbridge is contrasted with the
tranquillity of the Water of Leith which runs
through this part of the city. Stockbridge is
also home to the Edinburgh Academy sports
ground at Raeburn Place where the first ever
international rugby match was played in 1871.
Here’s our pick of the best places in Stockbridge
to eat, drink, shop and be pampered.
