6. What began as a humble little burrito shop - the 2nd to open in Edinburgh & the first to offer haggis burritos, grew into a place that acquired many awards, accolades, imitators & a following worldwide.

5. There has been nothing to suggest that the situation would change in the near future so we have made the very, very difficult decision to close our doors.

4. Once the barricades for the roadworks were placed in front of our doorstep after the first lockdown eased, our footfall was drastically reduced & we battled logistical headaches with supplies and deliveries ever since.

3. but coupling that with the ongoing tram works on Leith Walk has made long term viability of our business impossible.

2/ The pandemic caused considerable operating challenges which, we were largely able to adapt to & overcome

My count of the gender balance of shortlists for the past five years of Scottish Press Awards. There is some improvement with new categories helping, but work still to be done to ensure that Scotland's women journalists are properly recognised. So many talented women not included

New opening times this week!

Between the trams and the pandemic, Leith Walk has really suffered; but the worst part is losing out on offering up #burritolove to customers.
