Best Diners in Coalsnaughton

"The lunch menu at Bell’s Diner has barely changed in 40 years, but why change a winning formula?. This cute little diner on the corner of St Stephen Street has been serving up gourmet burgers long before the likes of Byron got in on the act. Its steaks are also excellent and come with a choice of five sauces (go for the garlic butter), while the large hot fudge sundae pancakes are legendary in these parts."

"Housed in a converted warehouse and serving a menu that’s about as far removed from stereotypical Scottish cooking as imaginable, Tapa has earned itself a loyal following among in-the-know residents in Leith. Its take on Spanish tapas dishes provides a break from the norm: there are melt-in-your-mouth ribs, and the chef’s mother offers her own recipe for venison stew that’s not to be missed."

"Constructed in the 12thcentury by King David I as the parish church of Stirling, the Church (or ‘Kirk’) of the Holy Rude is the second-oldest building in the city after the castle. Its current structure was developed in the 15thcentury, with its chancel and distinctive tower later being added in the 16thcentury. Situated near the castle, several royal coronations and baptisms took place in the building (including the crowning of King James VI in 1567), and it remains an active place of worship even in the present day."

"Also close to the castle is another jewel in the city’s crown: The Church of the Holy Rude. Founded in the 12th century, and the second oldest building in Stirling, the Church commands a splendid location on the city’s highest hill. The Church of the Holy Rude was the setting for the coronation of James VI in 1567, in a ceremony performed by revolutionary theologian John Knox."

"One of Scotland’s most important medieval churches, dating from 1456. The church is cruciform in plan and has a dominating tower at its western end. Impressive interior with stained glass windows of particular note."

"After a morning spent meandering around the vintage shops of Grassmarket, pop into this charming café for a juice, a veggie snack and a dose of green goodness. Find your perch by a pastel-hued table amid jungle-esque decor and sip on a smoothie (the Ass-Aye-Eee with berries, açai, apple and coconut milk is delightfully sweet) and nibble on a slice of toasted sourdough or a warm bowl of veggie curry."

"Hula started off in Edinburgh as a juice bar but has now turned into so much more.

They pride themselves on standing by their community and source all their food locally – including the coffee which is roasted here in Edinburgh."
