Small plan

Dog-friendly coffee and pause

A cautious dog-policy route: one coffee stop, one nearby fallback, and a reminder to confirm the current rules.

Built from Dog-friendly stops in Edinburgh. Use it as a shape for the day, then check the details before you set off.

Dog-friendly detail is treated as a starting point, not a promise, because policies can change fast.

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.

Use the plan only after checking the venue directly; the route keeps backup options close so the outing can adapt.

This version stays around Stockbridge, New Town and Old Town, with about 1.5 km between selected stops.

Current detail: 40 have an address, 40 have coordinates, and 35 have a website or profile.

Good small plans need escape routes: full rooms, odd hours, and weather can all change the day.
