The Flotterstone Inn is a cosy Edinburgh pub with exposed stonework and beams, serving locally sourced food that the whole family can settle into. There's a kids' menu and high chairs for the little ones, plus vegan options if anyone needs them. When the weather's kind, you can head out to the garden and let the kids have a bit more room.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
