Instagram in Edinburgh: Old Town, Leith and the Festival Fringe

Edinburgh is one of the most photographed cities in the UK. The castle, the Royal Mile, Victoria Street and Calton Hill give businesses dramatic backdrops, while Stockbridge, Bruntsfield and Leith are known for cafes, restaurants and independent shops.

The city’s Old Town and New Town together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visitors fill the centre for much of the year. Locals, meanwhile, follow neighbourhood businesses away from the tourist crowds.

Content that separates visitor-facing posts from locals-facing posts works well here.

August is the busiest month, with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Edinburgh International Festival and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Hogmanay at New Year and the Christmas market are also major moments.

We plan Fringe content weeks ahead, including offers for performers and audiences, and winter content for the dark months. Collab posts with nearby businesses and local creators help, and paid partnerships are labelled. Each month we report saves, shares and profile visits. Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Royal Mile, Victoria Street, Dean Village and Calton Hill are among the most photographed places in the UK. Arthur’s Seat gives a view over the whole city. The Festival Fringe in August brings huge crowds, and venues, cafés and shops can post daily Reels; in winter, Christmas markets and Hogmanay draw visitors again. Leith’s restaurants and Stockbridge’s Sunday market suit food content. Each month we report saves, shares and profile visits by post. We track saves and profile visits by post, and the Botanic Garden and Circus Lane also give quieter backdrops away from the festival crowds. Cafés in Bruntsfield and Marchmont suit food Reels. Portobello Beach also suits summer content.

  • Landmark and neighbourhood tags. Old Town, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge or Bruntsfield.
  • Fringe season. August content for performers and audiences.
  • Hogmanay. New Year content for hospitality.
  • Visitor vs local. Separate captions for each audience.

Example first month on Instagram

  • Week 1: profile fixes with your neighbourhood.
  • Week 2: Reels in your space.
  • Week 3: festival or seasonal content.
  • Week 4: a report.

The Edinburgh market in brief

Edinburgh is the UK's second-largest financial centre after London, with strengths in banking, asset management and insurance, alongside government (the Scottish Parliament), higher education, tourism and technology. Edinburgh Park is a major business and technology park, and the Old Town and New Town form the historic centre.

Local habits we build into the plan:

  • Hotels, restaurants and tours: plan Fringe-season content months in advance.
  • Financial services: LinkedIn content reviewed by your compliance team.
  • Visitor attractions: short videos for travellers planning trips.

  • Restaurants and cafes: Menus, plating and short kitchen clips are what diners browse before booking, so Reels and saved carousels do most of the work. Playbook
  • Hotels and travel: Room tours, local-guide carousels and guest content sell the stay before people compare prices. Playbook
  • Education: Student life Reels, results carousels and open-day Stories speak to students directly. Playbook
