Super-useful Edinburgh food delivery map featuring bakeries and butchers set up by volunteer group

A super-useful Edinburgh food delivery map featuring dozens of shops, charities and social enterprises has been set up by a volunteer group.

With people ordered to stay indoors amid the coronavirus outbreak, delivery services are becoming more and more essential in our day-to-day lives.

As a result the Volunteer Edinburgh organisation has compiled a handy Google map which marks out a number of the city's charities, companies, social enterprises and co-operatives working hard to get essential deliveries out to people.

Taking Stockbridge as an example, several butchers, bakeries, delicatessens are involved, along with a wine bar.

Included on each icon is an address, email contact, website (where possible) and phone number.

You can view the map by clicking here.

Edinburgh Live reported last week how Stockbridge resident Naomi Foale had been working hard to get word out about the independent traders still open for business, and delivering in her neighbourhood.

The 'Support Stockbridge' campaign features a host of food shops, takeaways, cafes and restaurants still providing an important service to people in the city. You can read the full story here.
