Small plan
A cosy winter reset
A cold-weather indoor plan with coffee, browsing, film, food, or a softer evening option.
Built from Rainy day things to do in Edinburgh. Use it as a shape for the day, then check the details before you set off.
This uses rainy-day and calm signals as winter-useful evidence, without pretending to know the weather on the day.

How to use it
Pick the first stop, check it directly, then keep the later steps loose. The value is not a strict itinerary; it is knowing the next move if the first idea does not work.
Pick an indoor anchor first, then keep a nearby second stop ready if the room is full or the weather turns awkward.
This version stays around Tollcross, Bruntsfield and Morningside, with about 1.6 km between selected stops.

Keep these nearby in your pocket
Good small plans need escape routes: full rooms, odd hours, and weather can all change the day.
