Having just retired back to Edinburgh, we passed here 'just for a look' on an early January typical grey Saturday morning. Negotiated with a 'Parking Attendant' (They actually speak to you in Edinburgh!) re leaving the car nearby for just a couple of minutes and nipped across. Due to the time of year it was smaller than normal. We bought... More

Edinburgh has so much to offer but the Farmer's Market was one of my best experiences. The farmers and vendors are happy to chat and answer questions about regional food and other products. Skip breakfast and feast on the hog roast sandwich with stuffing. The cheeses are excellent and generally you can have a taste before deciding which one to... More

The very best of local produce from Fife and the Lothians evry Saturday morning at Jognston Terrace just behind the Castle; freshest fruit and veg in season as well as oven ready meats and seafood, cheese, breads, parties and bakery products. You can also breakfast on local buffalo or ostrich burgers, hog roast, soups and the reknowned "Stoats" porridge -... More

There is no place I'd rather be after a friday out than the farmers market. Great atmosphere, a lot of great food.. Just a really nice experience.

I had the pleasure of going here a weekend in July. The market was small, but very nice. We were particularly pleased with the cheddar from Isle of Arran, and was it the bison burger? The next time we'll come to Edinburgh, we simply have to rent an apartment so we can have a chance to cook with the wonderful... More

If you like to browse a market with a difference try the Farmers Market on Castle Terrace every saturday. Local produce, fresh & different. You can graze along all the stalls & pick up something unusual too.

Located on Castle Terrace near the Caledonian Hotel this staurday morning farmers market was a great showcase of local produce and a handy location to graze for breakfast/brunch whilst working through the avenue of stalls- venison pie, scottish strawberries, yummy hot oat porridge with raspberries, delicious freshly roasted pork roll off a whole pig.

Absolutely brilliant- fresh produce and fresh food. I don't think there's a better way to spend a Saturday morning.

I had limited time, but needed to pick up some lunch for later, and there was quite a lot to choose between. Bought what proved to be a delicious home made pie and had a nice chat with the seller. Easy avcess, not too much people and useful stuff in the stalls.

When we're not too lazy, my fiancee and I go down to the Farmer's market to get our fornightly meat. I particularly like the beef from Well Hung and Tender, and the Hugh Grierson chicken. We used to always get the pork buns, but now they've gone up in price I'm more reticent to. Not saying they're not still good... More
