ESCAPE
Despite having lived in Scotland for the best part of six years, there are places that continue to evade me. Dunnet Bay and Jura have always been tough for logistical reasons (though I'm heading to the latter soon for the whisky). Stockbridge, though, is a mere 20-minute stroll from Edinburgh Waverley – why had I yet to explore its cobbled streets? Time to put that right.
As bucket-list items go, this waspicked rentals. We fell for Number 25, a charming ground-floor flat on a quiet street, a stone's throw from Stockbridge's main row of shops and eateries, and booked it for the weekend.
