About Edinburgh Inquirer
The Edinburgh Inquirer is the 'new watchdog' of the Royal Mile. Its weekly newsletter is famous for its focus on the 'Tourism vs Residents' debate—scrutinizing how the Fringe and Airbnb are changing the identity of the city. It's unique for its commitment to 'sensible' journalism, avoiding the partisan fire of the independence debate to focus on the tangible issues of city planning, transport, and schools. It is an essential read for anyone who cares about the livability and future of Edinburgh.
