About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, is a captivating blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy. Nestled between the rugged hills and the sea, Edinburgh is famed for its stunning architecture, rich cultural heritage, and dynamic arts scene. The city is divided into two distinct areas: the medieval Old Town, with its narrow, winding streets and ancient buildings, and the elegant Georgian New Town, characterized by its spacious squares and neoclassical architecture. Together, these areas form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflecting centuries of architectural and historical significance.
At the heart of Edinburgh lies the Royal Mile, a historic street stretching from the iconic Edinburgh Castle down to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The castle, perched atop Castle Rock, offers breathtaking views of the city and houses the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny. Holyrood Palace, the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland, stands as a symbol of the city’s royal connections and is open to visitors when the Queen is not in residence.
The city is perhaps best known for its world-renowned festivals, including the Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Every August, the city comes alive with performances, art exhibitions, and literary events that draw artists, writers, and tourists from around the world. The Hogmanay celebrations, held each New Year’s Eve, are another highlight, with thousands gathering for street parties, fireworks, and the famous torchlight procession.
Edinburgh is also a city of learning and innovation. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1583, is one of the world’s leading educational institutions and has been home to many notable figures, including Charles Darwin and Alexander Graham Bell. The city also boasts significant scientific and medical advancements, contributing to its reputation as a center of knowledge and research.
Beyond the historic and cultural attractions, Edinburgh offers plenty of green spaces, including Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano that provides panoramic views of the city, and Princes Street Gardens, a tranquil oasis in the heart of town. The city’s vibrant culinary scene, from traditional Scottish pubs to Michelin-starred restaurants, adds to its appeal as a tourist destination.
Whether wandering through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, exploring the refined elegance of the New Town, or experiencing the buzz of festival season, Edinburgh captivates visitors with its timeless charm and lively spirit
TESTme Health provides multiple diagnostic testing for allergies, food intolerance, health and rapid health testing kits

Iain Gallacher (Edinburgh Nov 20th 2024)
I’ve had gut health issues on and off for ages and after no luck from GP appointments in Edinburgh. I knew I needed to take matters into my own hands. This was easier said than done with lots of companies over-promising and under-delivering. I ended up pressing pause on finding a solution.
After a good friend passed on Iona’s details, raving about the service. I instantly knew this was THE solution. From my first point of contact, Iona was professional and friendly, but more importantly empathetic and charismatic. The process is simple and you can tell Iona has put a lot of thought into streamlining the service within Edinburgh and beyond.
Iona posted a test out to my home address and then once completed, I shipped to a lab for processing. The results came back quickly, and detailed what foods were problematic and what foods weren’t. This was exactly what I was looking for, and what I tried to find for years.
I can now look ahead and plan meals that won’t affect the rest of my day, my mood, my lifestyle. Iona may just say she’s “doing her job” but she goes above and beyond to help her clients get back to feeling good and gaining some clarity over issues they’ve probably pushed aside in their busy lives.
If you’ve suffered with gut or other health issues, please contact Iona today – highly recommend her and the service she provides!!

Alyson Gates (Edinburgh Sept 22nd 2024)
I went on a return trip to TESTme in Sept24 with my husband as he was having health problems. Hoping Iona can sort him out as she did me!
I went to Iona in June 2023 (over a year ago) suffering from migraines every fortnight which lasted 2-3 days. I had had every avenue explored by the doctor, including a brain scan, being told it is probably my age, etc. A friend then recommended Iona at TESTme Health. As anyone who suffers from migraines knows, one will try anything to stop them.
Following the consultation and allergy test with Iona, I immediately went home and changed my diet – no dairy, no eggs and no gluten. To say it has been life-changing is an understatement. I’ve not had a migraine since – have had the odd headache when I didn’t read the labels and consumed something which contained gluten.
I am fine with eggs now, having introduced them into my diet after 6mths. I’ve had dairy these past 4mths, but only if I am out in a restaurant.
Definitely not gluten as that is the root cause of my migraines from the one or two pitfalls I’ve had since June 2023.
Well worth the trip and money, which is why I have my husband attending this month to sort his health problems out too.
