"As its name suggests, Edinburgh Food Studio, located on a nondescript road a short cab ride from central Edinburgh, is the city's apex for gastronomes. Although it's a bona fide restaurant, EFS has the hum, chatter, and excitement of a pop-up. James Murray, the chef, and Ben Reade and Sashana Souza Zanella, the young, supremely knowledgable founders, sometimes appear to chat about ingredients and dishes."

"The Scottish Parliament Building may be a lot more modern than other entries on this list, but it’s all the more striking for it.

Its design aims to mirrors the natural beauty of the landscape around it, and the building itself is comprised of an array of abstract shapes."
