#89 Burgers, Buses & Bagpipes: A Keto Vegan Weekend in Edinburgh
from The Keto Vegan · host rachelghinn
In this episode, I (Rach!) take you on a lively, leg-stretching, taste-testing adventure through the cobbled streets of Edinburgh during my weekend getaway for the Abraham Hicks workshop. 🍔 Was it easy being keto vegan in Scotland's capital? 💸 What did I find at Gatwick Airport at 5:30am that didn’t break the carb bank? 🚌 How much does it actually cost to take the bus around Edinburgh? Spoiler: it's shockingly cheap. 🧀 And what on earth is a plant-based haggis fritter doing on my burger? From vegan burger joints with more toppings than sense, to a Madras-hot veggie korma that nearly blew my head off, I dish the highs and the "hmm, maybe next time" moments of finding keto vegan food on the go. Along the way, I also share: My go-to snack from WHSmiths (and why you should read the carb label carefully) The unexpected joy of coordinated bus meetups with friends The surprisingly lush coffee culture in the heart of tartan town Why the Beyond Meat burger wasn’t the best choice after three days of burgering And how a mushroom chilli from a local pub inspired me to recreate it at home Plus, I give some shout-outs to: ✨ Burgers & Beers Grillhouse – great vegan customisation, but beware the sugary balsamic ✨ Ignite Indian Restaurant – hot, hearty, and very keto-adaptable ✨ The Festival Pub – a proper lunchtime gem for meat-free, carb-aware options Whether you're planning your own trip to Edinburgh or just here for the keto travel inspo, you’ll get tips, laughs, and the truth about eating low-carb plant-based on the road. 👀 PS: Abraham Hicks is back in Edinburgh next July – might see you there? 📸 And yes, I did remember to take photos eventually. 🎧 Subscribe and share if you love plant-based sass with science! #KetoVegan #VeganInEdinburgh #KetoTravel #VeganTravelUK #AbrahamHicks #LowCarbVegan #PlantBasedTravel #KetoVeganEats #ScotlandVeganEats #TravelPodcast #VeganPodcast #VeganOnTheGo #KetoVeganFoodie #KetoUK #VeganUK #KetoLife #EdinburghEats #LowCarbLife #PlantBasedAdventures #KetoVeganJourney #VeganConferenceTrip #KetoVeganPodcast Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how Host Bio Rachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet.
