A macaroon (but make it savory), partridge ravioli topped with golden trompette mushrooms and salt baked golden beetroot perfectly paired with black truffle and burrata. The combinations may be unusual, though trust Martin Wishart to make it work. 

Meticulously designed, The Pavillion is a blend between boutique hotel and house. A home away from home, architects Nick Groves-Raines and Kristín Hannesdóttir, have created an oasis of a house within a 17th century building. Archetypically British, but with a Scandi colour palette, the three bedroom Pavillion is a place for lovers or families alike. 

A cross between a gallery and a shop – albeit one with a homely domestic layout – Bard has work by around 50 makers on rotation. The line-up includes Juli Bolanos-Durman, who transforms recycled glass into vessels and objects; Joshua Williams’ drip glaze caramel-coloured bowls; merino throws by Drove Weavers that use surplus wool; and Jasmine Linington’s cushions, made from SeaCell (a fibre derived from seaweed) and embroidered with metallic bamboo silk threads.  

On a cobbled lane just off the Shore, Custom Lane is one of Leith’s most creative corners. Set inside a restored customs building, it’s a collaborative hub for designers, makers and cultural projects, with studios upstairs and a public ground floor housing a café, gallery, shop and event space. Exhibitions, talks and workshops run throughout the year, while the resident community spans jewellers, architects, photographers and artists. It’s part workspace, part cultural venue, and a genuine engine of Edinburgh’s design scene.
