"Address: 354 Castlehill, Edinburgh, EH1 2NEWebsite: The Scotch Whisky Experience. If you’re on a visit to Edinburgh your trip won’t be complete without a visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience, located just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle Esplanade on The Royal Mile. The attraction features tours and whisky tasting sessions along with a very enjoyable journey through the history of one of Scotland’s most famous exports, brought to you by several resident ghostly tour guides."

"Set in the heart of Edinburgh, The Whisky Collection provides a novel setting for events. Guests will be treated to dining among 3,384 bottles of whisky and a five course tasting menu with courses focusing on food from the field, rivers and seas of Scotland. Each course, as you might expect, is also matched with a whisky."

"The perfect blend of Scottish history, sprits and education, situated just next door to the Castle. Discover the stories behind maturation and the vital ingredients that make Scottish Whisky so unique. Take a barrel ride, step back in time and become part of the whisky making process."

"Looking to visit Edinburgh, here’s a stylish holiday home situated in one of Edinburgh’s most sought after locations Simpson Loan,. One of the reasons why the Timberyard is so incredibly charming is the fact that it’s located in an authentic brick warehouse which has been thoughtfully and stylishly renovated. The family-run business believes in using ingredients supplied by small local suppliers, and as a result, their food is of great quality."

"It is not just Edinburgh’s pubs that are embracing craft beer, many of its restaurants are too. Two of these, Timberyard and Blackfriars, have bars open all day to non-diners. Blackfriars particularly (which I didn’t visit, it is closed Monday/Tuesday), is an established part of an Edinburgh beer circuit which includes, among others, the Bow Bar and the local branch of Brewdog."

"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."

"A post shared by Harmonium Bar & Kitchen (@harmoniumbar) on May 3, 2019 at 9:12am PDT. Harmonium is a firm favourite with Veggies (and non veggies too) across the city. Not only is the food great here but the friendly team and lovely space are all part of the attraction."

"If you are looking for more of a Thai-authentic vibe for your rooftop needs, then Chaophraya is the place to go. Exciting Thai cuisine and exclusive cocktails await you in this bar and restaurant - with one of the most exciting prospects being a sharer cocktail served in a mini bathtub. There are also cocktails following Thai recipes and these can all be enjoyed while overlooking Edinburgh's beautiful skyline."

"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 most romantic restaurants in Edinburgh, Chaophraya is bringing you food, booze and stunning views. Sat high above the city, the Thai eatery fronts an incredible menu alongside vibrant cocktails and gorgeous vistas through its floor-to-ceiling windows."

You’ll also find hot Tanzanian hot chilli sauces, flowers, arts and crafts, plus live music and performances."

"A small independent joint located just off George Street, Tonic Bar is a top choice for handcrafted cocktails and an intimate atmosphere. Decked out with comfy booths, neon lighting and an impressive sound system, this Edinburgh nightclub is the ultimate weekend hangout."

"Tonic has the look of a dark, relaxing lounge, but it’s as lively as any club on the weekends, and their cocktails pack a punch. It’s open late every night, with great DJs and live music options, and it’s considered one of Edinburgh’s best hidden nightlife gems."

"The team at Tonic will put all their expertise into perfect little cocktail pockets ready for you to shake up and enjoy. The cocktail bar offers an award winning menu. See what takes your fancy, from Espresso Martini to a Bubble Gum Daiquiri (Mocktail)."

"Visit the Free Museums in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile Since you’re on the Royal Miles, you should definitely take advantage of the many free museums that you can find along it’s length. Some of our favourites include the Edinburgh Museum, the Writers Museum and the Museum of Childhood. You can read much more about what is in each of these museums and why you might want to visit them in Jess’s excellent post on the highlights of Edinburgh."

"This extremely rich museum has the advantage of being free, so there is no reason to deprive yourself of this interesting cultural break. Located in the Old Town (more precisely on Chambers Street) in a nice building, the National Museum of Scotland is very large (6 floors) and you can easily spend a few hours there to see everything. This modern, fun and interactive museum will appeal to adults and children alike!"

"It’s not surprising that the National Museum of Scotland is one of the most visited sites in Edinburgh (after the castle of course). As a matter of fact, it attracts in excess of 2 million visitors a year!. This gem of a place combines history, culture, technology, the arts and science – all with a very Scottish theme."

"Housed in the historic Cannongate Tolbooth, the People's Story Museum tells the story of the people of Edinburgh from the late 18th century to the present day. The three galleries explore life in an Edinburgh tenement during the eighteenth century and recount the stories of Edinburgh citizens during the twentieth century using waxworks, recorded oral histories and written sources. The museum also houses an impressive number of early reform flags and banners in support of political reform, trade unions and the anti-apartheid movement."

"Sister to the Museum of Edinburgh and also set on the Royal Mile – this time in the 1591 Tolbooth building – this oral history museum delves into the lives of working people in the city, from the 18th century to the late 20th century. You’ll see recreations of a bookbinder’s workshop, a wartime kitchen complete with vintage packaging and a grisly jail cell."

"This second free museum in Edinburgh is dedicated to the real working-class people of Edinburgh. Images, objects and personal stories are used to document the lives of locals between the 18th and 20th centuries. Spend an hour browsing."

"If you love gardening, you will love the Archivists’ Garden located in between the General Register House and the New Register House.

"Dr Neil’s Garden is a wonderfully quaint place to wile away an afternoon or as a pit-stop on your way up to Arthur’s Seat. Tip: If you're lucky you may catch deer cooling off in the nearby Loch. *Guide-dog friendly!"

"Edinburgh’s quintessential secret garden, in the shadow of a 12th-century kirk, is one of the most peaceful green spaces in Scotland. Cultivated in the 1960s by doctors Andrew and Nancy Neil from a scrappy piece..."

"Covid-19 alert: Currently closed and focussing on cookies and cake to order. Opening a new café in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic was always going to be a risky gambit, but the folks behind Grams seemed to have pulled it off with their latest venture: Plant Bae. With Grams now moving to Stockbridge, Plant Bae has settled into its big brother’s old digs opposite Haymarket Station."
