I often wondered why Gorgie Road smelled like shit. Turns out because there is a farm on it! Who knew!\n\nSo this is where mothers bring their children in their buggies during the week. I was intrigued by the whole city farm idea, especially when Edinburgh is actually a pretty small city which is surrounded by farms. But it has its purpose. Entry is by donation and as this place is run by volunteers and funded by donations, it is worth giving up a few quid. There are chickens, goats, a sheep and lots of small animals. I think it is more geared towards very young kids, as older kids will be all like \""a sheep, so what?\"" \n\nThere is also a produce stand selling various produce from the farm. It perhaps isn't as exciting as a day out at the zoo, but it is cheap, there is a bus stop outside and will entertain the young kids for a few hours.
