Where Lorcan Byway would send you

Scottish Parliament Building
Landmark
Oct 21
Scottish Parliament Building★★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
Miralles's upturned-boat roofs at the foot of the Royal Mile — the most alive public building in Edinburgh, and free to wander inside. Go for the canoe skylights over the Garden Lobby, stay for the free guided tour (about an hour, check times when Parliament is sitting).

Oink Hog Roast, Victoria Street
Restaurant
Oct 21
Oink Hog Roast, Victoria Street★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
A counter on the prettiest street in the Old Town selling hog roast rolls until the pork runs out — white roll, pulled pork, sage-and-onion or haggis stuffing, apple sauce or chilli jam. My bread-and-pork judgement says: yes. Open every day from 11am.

Oct 21
Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
Small plates of Indian street food in a room painted like a Mumbai street corner, with a second branch near the university. Casual, colourful, made for grazing — order three or four dishes and share.
