Small one-lane Farmers market but the walk here was amazing and there is nothing like having…read moreEdinburgh Castle as your backdrop early in the morning. There are fresh produce vendors as well as food, snacks, honey, candles, and coffee mixed in. I really wanted to try the pasties guy, the rows and rows of savory baked good looked amazing but we let our kids choose and they went for something else. Most places do accept credit cards and we came mainly to pick up some fresh fruit to balance out all the heavy food we would be eating. The climate in Scotland is cold and rainy this time of year and the oranges and raspberries we got tasted different that the ones we get in the Bay Area. There is also meat and seafood, I loved seeing the fresh caught crab on a bed of seaweed and hard to find meat like venison for sale.

Came here to buy their fresh produce and try what they are selling. They are open every Saturday…read morefrom 9-2pm. They have area sourced produce, meats & cheeses, and baked goods and sweets. Small outdoor markets that seem to have quite a bit foot traffic. Service from each stall was friendly and welcoming. My son was looking for ice cream and found this Churn & Thistle ice cream place. He got raspberry, but they offered different flavors. It was very creamy and good and their waffle cone was excellent. Tasted almost caramelized and nicely crunchy. My favorite was their egg custard. It was very flaky and crunchy with a creamy center. It was very good. I've had some egg custards in Portugal as well, and these tasted authentic.

We came here on a recent trip to Edinburgh while exploring the city outside the Royal Mile…read more Everything was good, but the place was smaller than I expected and felt a bit packed. Despite that we got bread, paella, cheese, raspberries, pears, apples, lettuce, cucumbers, and jam for the rest of our trip in Scotland and it was all fantastic. The paella we ate there. I got the chicken paella because I didn't think picking apart seafood with my hands was the best idea while wrangling two small kids without a reasonable place to sit down. It was really good, if a tiny bit saltier than I'd like. The spices were top notch and the experience of seeing it made in the huge 6' in diameter wok-like pans was worth it. The bread (we got spelt) was _really_ good and I wish we'd gotten two loaves. Instead, we got only one and just relished the breakfast sandwiches we made with it the next few days. The cheese, jam and produce formed the basis of a lot of what we ate for the next few days and it was much better than what we'd been getting at Tesco.

Nice vibe, great food, friendly merchants!

I did not get a picture of the mint chocolate cookie from the Kitchen Witch, it was very good! If you have time, check out Circus Lane! I posted just 1 pic, people live there, but it is very picturesque.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Royal Mile Market is the building in which it is housed;…read moreTron Kirk was built in the 17th century & was used as a church until the 1950s. Today, vendors sell their modern goods in the centuries-old building with high ceilings & exquisite stained-glass windows. I had a fantastic time browsing each table, & especially enjoyed the many paper products -- cards, small & medium sized prints, stickers -- for sale. Good way to support Scottish artists & bring home portable souvenirs.

With bees on the brink of disappearance, it's good to know there're beekeepers out there who're…read morekeeping things going. I mean, as far as I can tell, if they've still got bees, they must be doing something right. What's interesting about these guys is that, although most of the year their hives stay in Fife and Perthshire, where they make blossom honey, they're moved to the Grampian Moorlands every July, where they produce heather honey. I mean, c'mon, how much more Scottish could you possibly get. I have a tendency to buy lots of stuff at the Farmer's Market, with the intention of having these products last a really long time. But then picnics happen. I assure you, some fresh bread with smoked mozzarella and honey is a surefire way of having a delicious and affordable picnic (when the weather allows). If you've decided honey might be a bit too messy, then run over to one of the many jam stalls, where you can smother your cheese and bread in fruit. Keep in mind that Scarlett's Scotland is only at the Farmer's Market every 1st Saturday, so you'll have to get some planning done if you want to buy their delicious goods.

I was walking past the Merlin the other day and noticed a banner for the Morningside Farmers…read moreMarket. Having just moved here, I was excited to find that there is a monthly farmers market close to my new place. The market is almost hidden in the car park behind the Merlin, except for some banners and a couple of stalls by the side of the building. This market seems to keep things simple, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There was a fruit and veg stall ( a very good one). The Secret Herb Garden was greeting us at the entry with lavender, herbs and beers. Pie Not was selling fresh made pies. We were able to buy some absolutely tasty brownies. And one of the highlights was Flat Out. They make their own flat bread and meatballs. We had the thai green curry chicken meatballs. I could've eaten a whole bowl of those. Isle of Arran cheeses was on the list of venders, but wasn't there. Here's hoping to pick up some cheese next month.

Tattie Shaws has fruit spilling out of it into its wee stalls outside the store. Their peppers and…read moretomatoes look so delicious you can't help but wander in! I'm a big fan of independent greengrocers. Sadly, there aren't many of them about these days, but that is what makes places like Tattie Shaws so special. With a great range of fruit and veg from all across the world, Tattie's supplies look full of flavour and ripe like they've just been picked off a plant. It's very reasonably priced and they also stock a variety of herbs and other such cooking ingredients. The staff are pretty alert and keen to help if you need anything. But most of all, I was so impressed with the quality of the produce. With the vibrant colours and fresh appearances, Tattie Shaw's stocks both homegrown and international fruit and veg. It's great that they represent local farmers and suppliers, but their more exotic offerings look equally as fresh - they've definitely been shipped in recently. As it's still the Scottish strawberry season, I'd recommend trying Tattie's for some of Fife's best berries!

The guy who runs this place (whose name i'm always forgetting) is a lovely but no nonsense chap, who knows his produce. He sells pretty much any fresh produce that you could care to buy. He seems to have a lot of everything all year round so he must be getting some of it from abroad but I know he also does seasonal stuff too. Ask him what's good and he'll suggest something! It's also handily on my walk home from work (assuming i get out in time before he closes!)

They have pick-your-own strawberries at the moment (June), but say they will have other soft fruits soon. The strawberries are grown on raised beds at shoulder height, and the fruits hang down so are really easy to pick. Nice not to have to bend down and pick them from the ground! My mother had come along with us and was able to join in too - she's in her seventies and didn't think she'd be picking fruit again! There was ice-cream and cold drinks for sale - no coffee but we didn't really need hot drinks given the weather. Handy location for those in Edinburgh - not far out of town and a good stop of point on trips to the beach in East Lothian. Also a good activity for kids on rainy days - the strawberries are grown in tunnels so still a fun thing to do in bad weather. Overall a lovely afternoon - we'll be back again and will be making lots of strawberry jam!
