About Edinburgh Live
Edinburgh Live is your companion to life in Scotland’s capital, bringing you the best the city has to offer, from festivals to food and drink.
We’re a hub for football coverage: our team is passionate about bringing you all the news from Tynecastle and Easter Road, not to mention the latest rugby news from Murrayfield too.
We’ll bring the action directly into your social feeds from the first whistle.
Edinburgh Live harnesses the latest technology and uses advanced storytelling techniques to show you the 'real' Edinburgh: it’s a complex, contrasting, fun, challenging, wonderful city. We want Edinburgh Live to be a true reflection of that.
Our team of five journalists are always on hand to provide new angles and fresh perspectives, and we want to hear from you. If you have any feedback, tips or suggestions - or simply want to make your opinion heard- you can find our contact details below.
Whether you live in the old town or the new town, you’ll find out everything you need to know about your town.
We’re a one-stop shop for the Best In Edinburgh, and we’re always here to help you decide where to go to spend your hard-earned cash, showcase the best bars and restaurants, help you entertain the kids and let you know about the latest exciting events.
Edinburgh’s also full of local colour, hilarious stories and entertaining moments, which all add a huge amount of flavour to life in the capital.
We cover this lighter side of life in a unique section called Salt and Sauce; it’s packed with funny articles, weird news and quizzes.
We’re also not afraid to tackle the big issues, as well as supporting and championing everything we (and you) know is great about Edinburgh.
In short, we’re here to start conversations, get you talking and connect you to the people and issues in the city. Join in!
