Circus Lane is a cobbled mews that Instagram discovered and Edinburgh residents learned to share. Hanging flower baskets, pastel painted doors, stone setts underfoot, it's compact, it's picturesque, and it photographs beautifully in any season.
Two minutes from Stockbridge's independent shops and cafés, so there's no reason not to build a morning around it. Spring and summer are peak bloom, but even in winter the bones of the lane hold up.
