Since meeting, via the site, we have met up, and it was like we knew each other for years, we have got on so well. We are now going from strength to strength, and I plan to move closer to where my match lives in the future.

LESLEY, 29 July 2024
I've met a really lovely man, it's early days but neither of us wants to meet anyone else. We're making plans, we are both widowed and this feels like something lovely coming from a lot of heartache. Thank you

Singles in Edinburgh

With nearly half of its population single (49%), there's never been a better time to start your dating adventure in Edinburgh. Luckily, the city is well-versed in fun and romantic date options, so there should be something to everyone's liking.

Edinburgh's many cafes, restaurants, and bars provide ample opportunity for the perfect date night, whether that's sipping on cocktails, enjoying an evening of fine dining, or eating plenty of haggis, neeps, and tatties.

Scotland is known for its rich varieties of whisky, and Edinburgh can offer you and your date a world-class whisky tour that'll leave you both feeling rather merry. But while Scotland's renowned for its whisky, their gin's pretty great too. So why not take your date of a tour of the Edinburgh Gin Distillery if that's more to your tasting?

There's plenty on the cultural scene too, with Edinburgh's many museums and art galleries. And history buffs might want to add a trip to Edinburgh Castle and the monarch's official residence at Holyroodhouse to their list.

Or, if you'd prefer some quiet time to chat and get to know each other, a picnic or walk around one of Edinburgh's city gardens will do just the job. The Botanical Gardens, Dunbar's Close, and Dr Neil's Garden are must-visits.

So if you're a single man or woman looking for love in Edinburgh, why not join Rest Less Dating today? We've helped many people find love through our dating site, and we're keen to help you find your perfect love-match next.
