The next social photo walk will be on Saturday 27 June 2026, 2-4pm. This month we'll be walking the Edinburgh FUJIFILM Photo Trail from 1993. We'll meet outside the Playfair Monument on Calton Hill.

In the 1990s, Fuji and the Edinburgh tourist board set up phototrails of all the picturesque shots in Edinburgh. They produced a leaflet in 1993 guiding tourists round the most photogenic points in the city.

Nowadays, the trail is forgotten, but still exists as brass plaques embedded in the pavement.

There are two main routes, New Town and Old Town. On this walk we'll be focusing on the New Town Trail, but maybe we'll try and pick off a few points on the Old Town Trail as well since they're close by.

From what I can find out, there are a number of plaques which no longer exist but we'll do our best to find the ones that are still there.

To read more about the photo trail, there's a great write up on Edinburgh LoFi and you can see photos of the original brochure via this link to Google Photos.

The next social photo walk will be on Saturday 25 April 2026, 9am.

We'll meet outside Artisan Roast on Leith Walk. From there we'll stroll the back streets, down to The Shore and thereabouts.

Street Photo Social walks are intentionally basic. No themes, no challenges, no models – just a bunch of friendly street photographers going for a wander, shooting scenes and shooting the breeze.

The walk is free to attend.

Our next social photo walk will be on Sunday 29th March 2026, 2pm.

We'll meet outside Tills Bookshop near the Meadows (1 Hope Park Crescent, Edinburgh EH8 9NA). From there we'll stroll around George Square, Newington, Holyrood, then back up the Royal Mile to a pub for a post-walk drink if that tickles your fancy.

Our next photo walk will be on Saturday 17th January 2026. To blow away those January blues we'll be heading out to North Berwick for something a little different.

We'll be getting the 10:40am train from Edinburgh Waverley station which arrives at North Berwick for 11:15am. If you're driving, or happen to live locally, you can meet us outside the station at 11:15. We'll wander around shooting scenes and shooting the breeze for 2-3 hours. You can stay longer or leave earlier, it's a very chilled walk and there's no obligation either way.

The walk is free to attend, but please email [email protected] or DM @streetphotosocial on Instagram to register and receive your invite to the WhatsApp group where we'll be organising the day.

Street Photo Social is curating our first exhibition! It will be held at the Whitespace Gallery from 27 Feb - 4 Mar 2026!
