âWhen gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season.â
Since the golden gorse flowers year-round, romance is always in the Edinburgh air and now, so is the scent of deep relaxation.
Our Cailleach Sleep Scent, crafted by Edinburghâs @jorumstudio , celebrates this hardy local bloom. Named for the Celtic goddess of winter, it blends the honeyed warmth of Scottish gorse with dreamy chamomile, jasmine, ylang ylang, lavender and raspberry.

Only in Edinburgh does summer begin like thisâŚ
Â
An ancient ritual reborn on Calton Hill, brought to life through fire displays, performance and celebration.
Â
Every May 1st, the Beltane Fire Festival transforms the city, rooted in a Celtic tradition marking the start of summer.

The magic of Edinburgh in April.
Just outside the Old Town, follow the cherry blossoms lining The Meadows - a gentle invitation to slow down and simply take it all in.
We recommend adding these other beautiful spots to your Edinburgh trip:
đ¸ Princes Street Gardens: Where the vibrant blossoms provide a stunning, colourful frame for the iconic Edinburgh Castle.
đ¸ Inverleith Park: Perfect for a peaceful stroll, offering quiet avenues of trees just a short walk from the Royal Botanic Garden.
đ¸ The Royal Botanic Garden: Explore the diverse collections, where spring blooms create a beautiful, curated landscape perfect for an afternoon wander.
Before you leave, you may notice a small green key displayed by our doors. A modest symbol - yet one that reflects a much greater commitment.
Our Green Key accreditation represents a considered approach to how we operate. Sustainability is thoughtfully woven into the everyday - from reducing water and energy use, to minimising waste, and partnering with local suppliers to bring seasonal produce to our kitchens.
Small details, carefully considered - for a lighter footprint, and a more conscious stay.

Happy Tartan Day from Edinburgh đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż
Our concierge team wear the City of Edinburgh Tartan, created by @kinlochanderson for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 1997. The sett draws inspiration from the historic Stewart Old Clan Tartan, reflecting the cityâs long kinship with the Stewarts.
Inspired by the colours of the Cityâs coat of arms and crafted by the Kingâs tartan makers - Royal Warrant holders since 1934 - itâs a proud symbol of Edinburghâs heritage woven into our welcome.
During your stay, ask our concierge how you can visit Kinloch Anderson to trace your own heritage - or request a romantic bouquet wrapped in a strip of our tartan, yours to keep for a future handfasting ceremony.
