About Edinburgh Finds

Edinburgh Finds is the definitive guide to activities, hobbies, and interests in our city. Built by locals for locals, our mission is to make it easy for everyone in Edinburgh to discover new ways to spend their time, develop their skills, and connect with their community.

Our Mission

We believe Edinburgh is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, with a wealth of unexplored opportunities for sport, art, music, and community activity. We exist to bridge the gap between those opportunities and the people looking for them.

Data-Driven & Local-First

Unlike generic directories, Edinburgh Finds uses a specialized entity extraction engine to aggregate data from dozens of reliable local sources—including the City of Edinburgh Council, National Governing Bodies, and direct venue information.

This data is then refined by local curators to ensure that every listing is not only accurate but provides the "insider" context that only a local would know.

E-E-A-T (Our Standards)

• Experience: Our team lives and works in Edinburgh. We know the venues we list because we use them.
• Expertise: We combine technical data science with deep local knowledge to build the city's most accurate hobby database.
• Authoritativeness: We source data directly from official providers and verify it against real-world evidence.
• Trustworthiness: We are transparent about where our data comes from and how we keep it up to date.
