Best Nightlife in Arthur's Seat

"You can do this of course just by popping into pretty much any pub in the city, but if you want to learn about the process of making whisky, as well as the various regions of Scotland and the flavours available, then the Scotch Whisky Experience is where you need to head. Here you’ll journey through the Whisky creation process, as well as learn about why Whisky from different parts of Scotland tastes different. Finally, you’ll be given the opportunity to taste one of four whisky flavours, before taking a look at the largest Scotch Whisky collection in the world. You can book your tickets in advance here."

"Taste the water of life at The Scotch Whisky Experience, and let the whisky gurus reveal all there is to know about Scotland’s national tipple. Tour the replica distillery, gawp at 3,500 bottles of the iconic elixir, ride in a whisky-barrel car and take home a tasting glass. There’s an attached shop, restaurant and whisky bar, should you fancy a post-tour dram."

"The Scotch Whisky Experience is located at Castlehill on the Royal Mile, not far from the Castle. It offers excellent facilities for the less mobile. The Scotch Whisky Experience takes you through a replica distillery and allows you to see close up the World's largest whisky collection."

"Timberyard nails so many of the requirements for an excellent meal out: expect unusual ingredients and exciting combinations that run from drinks to dessert, plus a hipster vibe. It’s a family-run business, and owner-operators the Radfords – along with their extended team of local growers, breeders, producers and foragers – have you in very safe hands. Time Out tip: It’s always worth asking the waiter to elaborate on the minimal menu descriptions, as the combinations are often more intriguing than at first glance."

"Timberyard plates traditional Scottish dishes in a trendy brick warehouse. All meals are made with ingredients from artisan growers, breeders and foragers and accompanied by herbs and edible flowers from the restaurant’s small garden."

"Timberyard is offering a finish-at-home three course menu, Thursday-Saturday. Details and menus are updated once a week, so check back for updates."

"A 100% vegan restaurant since July of 2015, Henderson’s Vegan serves up some tasty eats and delicious treats in Edinburgh. Hendersons is passionate about having a place where vegans can feel at home, knowing everything they’ll be eating and drinking is cruelty-free and vegan — this includes everything from the comfort meals to the wines and beers. And one of their best and most popular comfort meal?"

"This bar and restaurant from the Stereo team doesn't even need to flag vegan options on its menu because the whole damn thing is free from any animal products. Offering all your favourite comfort eats, from burgers and macaroni cheese, to laverbread cakes with streaky bacon, they're easily one of the best vegan restaurants in Edinburgh."

"A post shared by Bella Normand (@bellanormand) on Jul 17, 2017 at 2:02am PDT. Following on from the Glasgow restaurants success, Chaophraya moved to the capital and set up camp atop a city centre office building. Sounds very average so far, until you travel up the lift, ascend the glittering staircase and enter the restaurant."

"You’d be forgiven for overlooking this restaurant as it sits four stories above Castle Street. Its height affords it magnificent views of Edinburgh Castle and glass walls make the most of the surrounding views. It’s a wonderful place to just escape the hustle and bustle."

"One of the best Thai restaurants in the city, Chaophraya is a sleek rooftop with a modern vibe, floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible castle views. When it comes to outdoor dining?. This Edinburgh eatery is really packing a punch with its suntrap terrace."

"Whether its weekend breakfast, lunch, dinner or just enjoying a delicious glass of champagne, wine or cocktail, the Ship on the Shore's outdoor terrace offers informal, understated excellence, all while enjoying the buzz of Leith. Phone to make a reservation. The Ship on the Shore24-26 Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6QN. Tel: 0131 555 0409."

"Smart, understated decor sets the scene for the thoughtfully prepared and well-presented seafood dishes on the menu here. You'll find a wide range of fresh seafood and an extensive list of wine and champagne. The reasonable prices and generous portions served from the lunch menu are popular among diners."

"Set right on the waterfront in Leith, The Ship, with its black painted wooden tables outside, looks like a handsome pub. Step inside, though, and it’s clear that this is more like a serious wine bar and restaurant. Gaggles of tourists, especially in summer."

"It's by the sea – Newhaven Harbour is across the street – the interior looks like a well-appointed surf shack and it has ceviche, chowder, lobster, mussels and oysters on the menu. Meanwhile the specials board could bring scallops with black pudding, sea bream with potatoes, samphire and potted shrimp, and other simple, fresh dishes. Given the owners are Thai – and the premises used to house a Thai restaurant – there may be even be some Asian-inflected options at times."

"Lush have made a name for themselves with unique, handmade, ethically sourced health and beauty products. Now they have taken the next step an offer spa treatments from their Edinburgh store. Like their products, the treatments are unconventional and fresh and more specifically tailored to the individual than is the norm."

"If you love Lush or want to experience something different from your usual spa experience, Lush Spa is a must-try!. Each treatment therapist is highly knowledgeable and professional from the moment you meet them and will have a consultation with you before selecting the products for your treatment!"

"Image SourceThe market is an ideal place in Edinburgh to explore shops from leading-edge designers to fashion origins. The market is filled with designers, artists, and individuals selling crafts and classy clothes. Take a look for designer hats at Fabhatrix and Mr. Wood’s Fossils and if what you are looking for are old trend hats then Armstrong’s is the place to be."
