Inspiring families to find the best things to do in edinburgh with kids
ABOUT US
Hello!
Welcome to Cobbles and Closes! It is great to have you on board. I am a really new blog but bear with me- I have lots and lots of exciting things I want to share with you over the coming months. I fell in love with Edinburgh the day I arrived 25 years ago and have never left!  For the past 11 years I have enjoyed seeing the city through my kids’ eyes and love showing them everything it has to offer. I want to help everyone make the most of the time they spend in and around Edinburgh whether you are local families looking for some weekend inspiration or tourists seeking that perfect itinerary.Â
Check out my blog posts for the best things to do in Edinburgh with kids from hidden gems, quirky activities, beautiful walks, great  itineraries , day trips and lots more.
Live your best Edinburgh life with Cobbles and Closes!
