Broughton, Edinburgh

It’s mainly residential in Broughton so no surprise to find a school here. But there’s plenty of shops on the main streets. And you’re central.

Cooking an evening meal? On Broughton Street you’ll find the finest food shops in the city. Or let the professionals do it – there’s Thai, Indian and Italian eateries on Leith Walk.

The celebrated but discreet gay scene is another square on Broughton’s exciting cultural quilt. It’s not Copacabana but do expect to see a rainbow flag here and there.
