An Opinionated Guide To Edinburgh
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
An Opinionated Guide to Edinburgh is a pocket-sized insider’s guide to the very best of Scotland’s capital, written by Edinburgh local Pippa Perriam.
Known for sharing her food, travel and lifestyle recommendations as @itspippa, Pippa brings together more than 50 favourite places to eat, drink, shop, stay and explore across the city. From brilliant independents and neighbourhood restaurants to hotels, green spaces and Edinburgh institutions, it’s a carefully curated guide for discovering the city like a local.
And we’ll admit to being a little biased: grow urban. is featured in the book too. You’ll find us in the Shops section, where Pippa describes our St Vincent Street store as “a true oasis in the city”, highlighting our houseplants, urban gardening essentials, pots and terrariums, as well as the little café tucked amongst the greenery.
Compact enough to carry around Edinburgh, it’s a lovely gift for visitors, a brilliant companion for a weekend in the city, and just as good for locals looking to discover somewhere new.
