Welcome visit Our WebSite:

Spotted by Locals was started in 2008 by Sanne & Bart van Poll, two married Amsterdam (Netherlands) locals and travel addicts, because they could not find a good guidebook that provided up-to-date and real local information. Bart van Poll: "City travelers are progressively looking to learn more about the local culture of their chosen destinations. They do not only want to 'do a city' by visiting standard highlights."

Sanne van Poll: "Each of the 35 European cityblogs are written by people who live there and speak the language. Spots are easy to browse online by city or topic and come with location maps. You can also download a PDF cityguide or a 100% offline iPhone app."

In Edinburgh, Sanne and Bart have selected three passionate Edinburgh-loving locals, Anson Clark, Sophie Cameron and Stu Anderson to start up the Edinburgh cityblog. The favorite spots of these three Edinburgh "Spotters" include an abandoned railway network, and antique "junk" shop and a legendary Edinburgh vinyl shop. Not the typical Edinburgh highlights!
