Jamie Smith

Jamie has called Edinburgh home for over a decade and loves sharing his city with visitors from around the world.

As the owner of a Royal Mile apartment, he’s become an expert in what makes Edinburgh special—from the independent coffee shops tucked down cobbled lanes to the family-friendly spots that don’t make the typical tourist guides.

When he’s not welcoming guests, you’ll find him exploring new cafés, discovering hidden corners of the Old Town, or walking through the city’s beautiful parks.

He started this blog to help visitors experience Edinburgh like a local, not just a tourist.
