About
If you're wandering down Union Street in Edinburgh's New Town, you might just spot the bright, airy two-floor space that is Egg & Co — Scotland's first co-working space designed by and for women. Founded by Kylie Reid, this vibrant hub is filled with natural light, new desks and chairs, and the irresistible aroma of free Steampunk Coffee. Beyond hot desking and private offices, you'll find a podcast studio, a free-to-book meeting room, and a mezzanine events space that hosts everything from yoga sessions to networking evenings. Don't miss the female-led retail pop-ups (think Tartan Blanket Co., Rare Birds Books) sprinkled throughout. Insider tip: egg card holders get £5 off their hot desk booking — and the WiFi password is simply 'egg & co working open'.
