We discovered last week a new, good Mediterranean restaurant on Broughton Place, just up the street on the same side as Kathy's Knits. Called Eden's kitchen, it has an oven, and offers maze, pasta, pizza, salads. The staff were really friendly. We were in Edinburgh just for the day to see the Scottish women artists exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art, and the Dutch paintings exhibition at the Queen's Gallery at Holyrood House. Next year I will be going to EWF for sure.

I have never been to the real shop - but it looks lovely from the photos.<br /><br />Jenners and John Lewis both offer Rowan yarns, but I think they also differ a bit in some of the other yarns they stock - but I haven't been to either for ages! Anyway McAree bros probably covers most if not all of that territory pretty well... <br /><br />Do just check opening days/times as not all of the smaller shops are open every day of the week (and having been caught out like that myself, I know how annoying it is!)Knitlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694849211711608460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-68208823383930697972016-03-24T12:00:57.317+00:002016-03-24T12:00:57.317+00:00I like to look at the map when you mention things ...I like to look at the map when you mention things like Ginger Twist, and I see it is very close to the place I stayed last year on Royal Terrace. I am sorry I missed it! Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.com
