Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi have been spotted soaking up some culture in the Scots capital while enjoying a taste of the local cuisine.
The singer and her hubby took a laidback trip to the capital which included venturing around the Old Town to see some of Edinburgh's famous beauty spots and visiting the local restaurants.
During the trip, the star enjoyed a Scotch Egg while they took a stroll around the city. One resident also told Edinburgh Live: "We saw the couple in the Guildford Arms pub."
They were also spotted in one of the famous bookshops hidden around the Grassmarket and popped into Mary's Milkbar for an ice cream despite the cold weather.
While on that side of town, the couple also paid a visit to I.J Mellis Cheese on picturesque Victoria Street.
In a video posted to her Instagram story, Rita said: "Our scotch egg review. I know you guys are desperate to see what we think. I do get a little demanding over food lol.
In the short clip, the couple is seen enjoying a chorizo scotch egg and a black pudding one. She adds while holding up one of them: "This is as big as your head. Tell me it's not as big as your head!"

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with Flora and Son, John Carney‘s latest indie ode to music that stars Eve Hewson in a breakout role.
Sam Heughan fans are counting down the days until his new show The Couple Next Door hits screens.
Gareth Southgate would relish locking horns again with Scotland in a Euros rerun.
Taika Waititi is opening up about his relationship with wife Rita Ora and how he knew she was “the one.”
By diving headlong into the title role for Flora and Son, Eve Hewson — the daughter of U2 frontman Bono — conquered her fear of singing, the actress said at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles in a panel with co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the film’s composer and primary songwriter Gary Clark.
Rita Ora has taken to social media to gush over her "incredible" trip to Scotland. The pop icon posted a string of wholesome snaps from her whirlwind break as she promised her fans she would be returning again soon.
No one knows when Taika Waititi‘s “Star Wars” movie will come out, but it’s still in the Lucasfilm pipeline. And outside of being in development, the only thing known about it is that it’ll come after Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Dave Filoni, and James Mangold‘s upcoming films hit theaters first.
Taika Waititi has stated that he “won’t be involved” in a potential fifth Thor film – read on to find out what the director had to say.Speaking to Business Insider, the director – who helmed 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok and 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder – was asked if he’d once again be in the director’s chair for a possible fifth Thor movie, which hasn’t officially been confirmed at Marvel.Waititi said that he wasn’t sure if a new Thor film was in the works at all, suggesting that rumours of its development were false: “I wouldn’t know if that’s accurate. I know that I won’t be involved.”He went on to explain that his absence from the project is merely due to a packed schedule that might be too long of a wait for Marvel.
Taika Waititi is stepping out for the premiere of his new movie!
Taika Waititi directed two of the four Thor films starring Chris Hemsworth and as rumors that a fifth installment is being developed, the director is saying he is not involved.
Though the general consensus is that “Thor: Love and Thunder” is a disappointing entry in the franchise, the film still earned more than $760 million globally. Given the disastrous start for “The Marvels” and Marvel’s recent woes, perhaps ‘Thor 4’ will be getting a bit of revisionist history soon enough, and that might mean the studio would be interested in calling up Taika Waititi to see if he’s ready for yet another Asgardian adventure.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Taika Waititi told Business Insider while promoting his new sports comedy “Next Goal Wins” that he “won’t be involved” in a fifth “Thor” movie, at least if it’s happening anytime in the next six years or so. The Oscar winner directed Chris Hemsworth in the beloved “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017) and the hugely divisive “Thor: Love and Thunder” (2022). A fifth “Thor” film is currently not on Marvel’s upcoming slate, although the character is still very much alive within the MCU and the door is presumably open for his return.
