Underground supper at Kyloe
Our columnist, Kerry Teakle, had an experience to write home about at Kyloe. She went to Heads & Tales which is downstairs and made the secret knock on the door…
She writes: “Listen up, culinary conspirators. There’s a clandestine dining experience brewing in Edinburgh that’s got more intrigue than a bootlegger’s back room. Kyloe Restaurant is pulling back the velvet curtain on a series of underground supper clubs that’ll transport you faster than a getaway car.”

The Night Sky over Edinburgh
“As we start BST, the Lyrid meteor shower lights up the April sky and we witness
both the farthest Full Micromoon of the year and the closest New Supermoon of 2025..” Phil Daly’s latest article in the Night Sky over Edinburgh series is published this morning. It is quite fascinating to read and he has some very good news for those of you who long for the longer days and shorter nights…
- “The Sun leaves Pisces (The Fishes) on 18 April at 12:40 pm and enters Aries
(The Ram) and recedes from Earth by 1,238,923 km over the month. Daylight
lengthens from 13:08 (13.140 hours) on 1 April to 15:19 (15.324 hours) on 30
April so we lose 2 hours and 11 minutes of night time by the end of April.
As we head towards the long summer days of northern climes, spare a thought for
the hapless astronomer who yearns for the dark hours when astronomical dusk
ends and astronomical dawn begins. At the start of April, this amounts to 6
hours and 15 minutes but shortens dramatically to 2 hours and 8 minutes by
month’s end!” - Read more here.
