Small plan
A quiet working block with a backup
A focused work-or-read plan with one main stop, one practical detail check, and one exit route if seating is tight.
Built from Quiet cafés in Edinburgh for reading or working. Use it as a shape for the day, then check the details before you set off.
This is deliberately cautious: laptop policies, WiFi, sockets, and table pressure must be checked before relying on a place.

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.
Choose the main stop, check the practical constraints, then keep a second neighbourhood ready so the work block does not collapse.
This version spans Dalry and Tollcross; check the map and timings before relying on it.
Current detail: 40 have an address, 40 have coordinates, and 36 have a website or profile.

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