Edinburgh’s first and only breakfast bothy stands in a little patch of greenery and sunlight at the edge of The Meadows.
Inside the brightly painted booth stands Tim Fidelo, a former chef currently known as the man in the bothy box. He is the Breakfast Bothy’s outreach project manager.
There’s not much room inside the old police box, but there’s enough space for Fidelo, a small kitchen, and a few personal touches. From the tiny kitchen, Fidelo serves up hot food, hot drinks and warm smiles to the community’s most vulnerable and at-risk population.
