The Indigo Yard was such a fun place the visit on our first time to Edinburgh. The atmosphere was pleasant but relaxed for an early dinner. They had it so well decorated and the ambiance was lovely. The food did not disappoint and the wait staff were so nice.

This little historical spot is not well marked, but can be located using your phone map on the Royal Mile just outside St. Giles cathedral. The Heart of Midlothian mosaic was the gate to The Old Tolbooth prison where many execusions were carried out in the late 1700s. Due to the history you will see the Heart being spat on.

I thoughly enjoyed my time at the Mill De Kat, seeing this impressive design and construction still functioning today. I loved seeing and hearing the mill in action with its heavy mill stones turning mineral stone to powder for classical paints. The modular construction of the huge gears and how the mill head could be turned by hand to catch the best wind by the windmill blades was inspiring.
