Last summer, a colleague told me about a little gem of a park off Edinburgh's Royal Mile which didn't appear to be regularly frequented and was an oasis of calm during what can be a hectic summer in Edinburgh.
As you do, I googled the name of the park (a picture of which you can see here) and one of the sites which popped up was Nothing To See Here - which offers an eclectic mix of little known but ultimately rewarding places to visit.
I was reminded of the site today by a visit to the Co-Op store on Leith Walk. I was down there on a hunt for other stuff and fancied a drink and a snack. As you can imagine with Burns Night upon us, there is a lot of Scottish produce being promoted for the Burns Supper on Tuesday. My eye was caught by that Scottish staple - the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer - at £1 for a pack of eight - now that is a bargain.
When a friend was 48 a couple of years ago we bought him one for every year of his life as he was a notorious fan. I thought they would last him a year at one a week - with a break for his summer holidays - no chance.
So if you can't get them at this price - here is a link to the Nothing to See Here site about visiting the factory in Uddingston.

Bon Appetit.
