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.
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.

A fun and totally immersive day featuring a sorting ceremony, shopping on Edinburgh’s Diagonal Alley, a potions class and (hopefully!) defeating the Dark Lord…
Muggles beware!
For a few weeks every spring, Edinburgh becomes a vision in pink. Check out the best places to see the cherry blossoms and get inspiration for a pink themed day around the city (featuring pink avocado toast!)
There is something for everybody on this perfect day trip from Edinburgh, even if art is nit usually your thing. It even includes a swim in one of the art installations. Such a unique and cool experience…
