Out and About in the City: Edinburgh’s Hidden Gems
We had the opportunity to go out and explore Edinburgh recently and were tasked with uncovering a few of the city’s lesser known hot spots. We made a conscious decision to stay away from what is traditionally considered to be the ‘city centre’. So if you’re planning a visit to Edinburgh soon then read on….

Pilsner Urquell Brewery Tour, Plzen
A few weeks back we travelled to Prague following an invite by Pilsner Urquell to visit their brewery in Plzen as part of The Original Collective. Our brief was simple: experience the Pilsner Urquell Brewery tour, meet some of the team at Pilsner, and generally drink beer and enjoy some Czech hospitality. Unsurprisingly we jumped at the…
