🏰👻 Did you know that the birthplace of Gothic horror is hidden away in London?

Welcome to Strawberry Hill House, a fairytale-like Gothic castle with a wonderfully dark history. 🖤

Built in the 18th century by Horace Walpole, this extraordinary house inspired the world’s first Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto, published in 1764.

The inspiration? A terrifying nightmare involving a gigantic armoured hand appearing on a staircase. 💀

With its winding corridors, dramatic interiors and tales of ghostly apparitions, it’s difficult to imagine a more fitting place to spend Halloween.

And this October, Strawberry Hill House is embracing its spooky past with a series of special events! 🕯️

My recent Edinburgh coffee shops reel went viral, but one of the questions I kept getting was where exactly each of the shops were located, so I thought I’d make things a little easier! ☕️

I’ve put together this carousel with the names and locations of each coffee shop, so you can save it for your next trip to Edinburgh. 🤎

Which one would you visit first?

📌 Save this post for your next Edinburgh trip!



One of the branches of The Milkman®. Luckily they're both on the same street. Get there early to grab the window bench!

The Castle Rock Cafe in Makars' Court. So good to have The Writers Museum as a backdrop!

Waterstones Edinburgh West End, Princes Street. Amazing views of the castle but I'd recommend getting there before opening if you really want a table by the window. We were some of the first ones there but still had to run up the stairs to grab a table before anyone else. There were lots of people in there standing by the window seats waiting for people to move, which was a bit annoying.

The The Milkman®'s second branch- just up the hill from the first. Not much seating here either so get there early if you want to sit in.

The Milkman®

Topping & Company Edinburgh This is actually a bookshop but they offer you a free cuppa whilst you're browsing, which is sweet.

Starbucks UK Princes street. They’ve moved since I took this photo, so the windows are different, but the views are still the same.
