About

The Hidden Edinburgh mission is to support, showcase and predominantly promote independent businesses, and the people behind them, to Edinburgh and beyond. 

We are more than Edinburgh locals with a passion for our beloved city. We are accomplished marketing professionals, with decades of experience within the digital marketing sector.

We’ve turned our marketing expertise to create Hidden Edinburgh – one of the most relied upon and popular online sources of information about the happenings in Edinburgh for locals and visitors to the city alike.

It has organically grown and we’ve successfully nurtured an active community all of whom positively contribute to the ongoing success of this dynamic and relevant online publication.

The Hidden Edinburgh mission is simple; to support, showcase and promote independent businesses, and the people behind them, to Edinburgh and beyond.
