St. Andrew's Square: A Wee Gem in the Heart of Edinburgh ★★★★★ I'm absolutely smitten with St. Andrew's Square! This wee bit of heaven in the heart of Edinburgh is a real treat for the senses. The other day, I was basking in the sunshine, sipping on my irn bru, and listening to my friend sanjar Ali play "fly me to the moon." It was a truly magical moment. The square is surrounded by beautiful Georgian architecture. There's also a lovely park with benches, flowers, and a fountain, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak up the atmosphere. If you're ever in Edinburgh, I highly recommend taking a stroll through St. Andrew's Square. You won't be disappointed!

Reasonable sized little green oasis in the East end of the historic New Town. Handy for a seat, maybe grab a Costa, people watch or just pass through between the George Street bars and shops to Multrees Walk and ST James quarter beyond. Once the centre of Edinburgh's financial sector, but now given over predominantly to retail outlets. Some of the fine Georgian buildings around its edge remain, whilst the squares dominating feature is the monument to Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville.

Beautiful square in the bustling city center, especially beautiful at Xmas time with all that illumination on and Nativity scenes in play. Magic! Public love passing through it or just sit there next to Melville Monument or in the Costa Cafeteria enjoing the view and the coffee, indeed. Kids like splashing in the pond there in the summer. Bliss!

What a shame that another of Edinburgh’s green spaces has been ruined by a temporary coffee outlet blasting out music. I love Edinburgh and I love the festival and all it provides for Edinburgh and the tourists, but not like this. There is music all over Edinburgh so it would be nice to have somewhere to sit and relax and enjoy the calm.

This small but possibly one of the most prestigious locations in the heart of Edinburgh has a small circular ice rink for those of you with this talent to partake in for the Christmas period. Personally I value the wholeness of my limbs so I declined to take part but must admit it looked enthralling, enjoy! !!!

A great place to relax and get a cup of coffee ☕ There is a small cafe in the garden. There is a walking path around the monument in the middle. I'm giving 4 stars because it can get busy with limited seating. Especially when it is sunny, a lot people come for the tour buses that start next to the garden.
