The Tyninghame Smithy

Gorgeous little café in the heart of the conservation village of Tyninghame in East Lothian. Dogs welcome inside and out. Cosy and quirky. The quiches are really tasty if the soup has run out.

Indoor seating now reopened with a different seating arrangement to that pictured. Plenty of tables outdoors too if you prefer to stay in the fresh air.
Very popular traditional Seesaw at the front.
Only 5 minutes drive and then 15 minutes walk to the stunning Tyninghame beach.

As well as the beach, there are super walks both in the paddock behind the village hall and in the woods around #Tyninghame house, as long as you avoid the private areas.

Di Giorgio’s, Canonmills, Edinburgh

A great place to stop for a coffee on a walk along the Water of Leith from Stockbridge. Really friendly owner. Open for takeaways during lockdown. Dog friendly inside and out!

Update 5/12/20: Had a lovely birthday lunch here. What a varied menu! Great artistry in the coffee decoration and lovely Christmas snowflakes adorning the rear window, which we opened a little to get good ventilation. #dogswelcome

The Water of Leith Café Bistro, Canonmills

A great place for lunch or coffees right next to the Water of Leith walkway. Colourful interior. Dog-friendly at the two tables nearest the door. Friendly staff. Lots of free books to borrow. Attractive local art on the walls. Lunch menu looks enticing. We’re planning to book to go back this week!
