BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Traveltipster - In this episode, we dive into the fascinating and quirky side of Scotland's capital with '19 Unique and Unusual Things to Do in Edinburgh.' Beyond the iconic Edinburgh Castle, discover the city's hidden gems and strange history, from narrow alleyways like the close to luxurious townhomes that contrast the ancient and modern aspects of the city. We'll take you on a journey through the lesser-known Dynamic Earth Science Center at the Royal Mile, where high-tech exhibits transport you from the big bang to the age of the dinosaurs.

Join us as we explore the eerie Camera Obscura, a Victorian-era attraction that includes the disorienting Hall of Mirrors. Venture just outside the city to the National Mining Museum of Scotland via Lothian Bus, and learn about the area's rich industrial past. We also cover unique outdoor experiences such as the spooky walking tours starting at the Royal Mile, and the haunting history of Calton Hill, once the site of the Calton Jail and a leper’s hospital.

For a more serene adventure, stroll through picturesque spots like Circus Lane and the Water of Leith, where you can visit St. Bernard’s well, believed to have healing properties in the past. Don’t miss the vibrant Leith Neighborhood, now a hub of trendy restaurants and shops, or the tranquil Dean Village, with its historic Dean Bridge. The episode also highlights quirky dining at Bread Meats Bread with their infamous Donut Burger, and cultural stops like the Scottish Storytelling Center and the Museum of Childhood.

Finally, we take you aboard the decommissioned Yacht Britannia, explore the supernatural at the Arthur Conan Doyle Center, and marvel at scientific milestones with Dolly the Sheep at the National Museum of Scotland. Whether you're planning a trip or just dreaming of one, tune in for a comprehensive guide to the most unusual and unforgettable experiences Edinburgh has to offer.
