Get The Skinny Guides to Edinburgh and Glasgow 2022

They're back! The Skinny team have been hard at work once again, and The Skinny Guide to Edinburgh and The Skinny Guide to Glasgow hit the streets this month. In both cities, we've broken things down neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood, highlighting our favourite bars, gig venues, cafes, places to go, things to see, and stuff to do.

We've also put together cultural guides to help you dig into the Things That Are Happening in your city of choice. For Edinburgh, that means breakdowns of the *deep breath* Edinburgh Fringe, Edinburgh Art Festival, Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival, and the city's best live music venues and clubs.

In Glasgow, we're looking at some of the radical community-led organisations that make the city great, from CRER's anti-racism work and Glasgow Zine Library's embrace of the power of the zine. We also celebrate Glasgow electronic music pioneer Janet Beat, highlight Glasgow's indie record shops and community radio stations, and provide a guide to Glasgow's community art spaces. And if you've had enough and want to hit the road, we have a selection of day trip suggestions in each of the guides. We've thought of it all!

The guides are also packed with amazing illustrations – Nänni-pää illustrates the Glasgow guide, and Hazel Laing illustrates our Guide to Edinburgh. Pick up your free copy at one of the venues listed below!
