Another tartan tat shop opens on the Royal Mile . McTweeds is in the old and much loved Starbucks shop in Conongate. And opposite is the beautiful Och Aye The Moo. @Edinburgh_CC are you happy with this continuing despoiling of a UNESCO heritage site?

Edinburgh the favourite for a White Christmas? ❄️ 2/1 with William Hill, although the definition of a White Christmas is rather less festive than you might imagine! 🎄 #Edinburgh #WhiteChristmas #UKSnow

❄️ Edinburgh is 2/1 with William Hill for a White Christmas in 2026. But you don't need a blanket of snow to win the bet. Just one officially observed snowflake can be enough. Here's how the market works, plus the latest city odds: betfinder.io/gambling-news/w… #WhiteChristmas #SnowBetting #Edinburgh
