The Mammoth Café

Roughly a 15-minute drive away from my hotel was a small tea house that opened up two years prior named the Mammoth Café.

Standing on the opposite side of the street from the building sporting a derpy-looking wooly mammoth, I took in the view.

The first thing that caught my eye was the small red-painted building, which stood out like a sore thumb on a street filled with old stone structures.

Taking in the big picture, I had to give it to the owner for creating such a contrasting image on a wide open cobblestone road lined with architecture, which gave people an antique feeling when they observed their surroundings.

As a business that prided itself on being one of the best tea and coffee houses in Edinburgh, it eventually became known worldwide as the place where the ridiculously famous book-turned-movie franchise Henry Potter was born.
