BrewDog may be better known for their cult beers, but they also distill a range of spirits at their base in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. To celebrate the launch of BrewDog’s LoneWolf Gin, I was invited on of a mystery tour to find remotest gin bar in Scotland, specially set up for the occasion.

The Barclays Eagle lab is a hub within CodeBase, the technology incubator. They provide technology and office space to local businesses and communities, as well as mentoring to help these businesses grow. The Barclays team have a variety of different skills so they can help resident business approach a whole range of challenges they face. I was invited to experience the Eagle Lab in Edinburgh to get an idea of the technology and innovation that local businesses can make use of. While this was a sponsored opportunity, I was blown away by the scope of what’s available.

To coincide with the Colony of Artists and Out of the Blue Abbeymount open studios weekend, I’ve pulled together a guide to some of the lovely places to eat and drink around Easter Road.

There are more than 50 artists exhibiting at this year’s events, so you will definitely need to take time for a lunch, cake or coffee break at a few of these spots
