  • Outdoors
  • Free
  • Best in Spring, Summer, Autumn

Wander the squares of Footdee (Fittie), a 19th-century fishing village of low cottages and painted sheds and summerhouses at the harbour mouth.

Why it's a good date: It's small, quiet and unlike anywhere else in the city, so it suits a slow stroll. People live here, so keep your voices down, then watch the ships come through the harbour entrance from the pier.
