"Close to Leith’s tourist-friendly Royal Yacht Britannica museum, The Ship on the Shore is also well worth a voyage. The focus here is seafood. From the fresh-caught produce to the nautical maps on the walls this is a restaurant to give anyone their sea legs."

"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."

"https://www.facebook.com/tailendstandrews/videos/729394610496551/. It's an obvious choice when visiting the coast to indulge in a fish tea but with so many excellent eateries available where do you choose?. Thankfully, Tailend St Andrews - which has become so popular it's opened a second restaurant in Dundee - makes the choice a little easier by mixing the comforting style of a traditional seaside chippy with the class and delivery of an award-winning restaurant."

"If you like seafood, Tailend Restaurant on the bustling Market Street is a great place to visit in St Andrews. It also provides a takeaway service as well as a restaurant, perfect if you fancy staying inside in your cosy accommodation!. The restaurant is owned by G&A Spink, fish merchants of Arbroath who supply all the daily fresh fish including their famous hot smoked salmon and Arbroath smokies, a must try."

"Delicious fresh fish sourced from Arbroath, just up the coast, puts this place a class above most chippies. It fries to order and the food's worth the wait. The array of exquisite smoked delicacies at the counter..."

"Younger sibling of the Seafood Restaurant in nearby St Monans, this stylish venue opened its doors in 2003 & instantly became the place to be seen ..."

"One of the most famous fish and chip shops in Edinburgh, it's no surprise that orders have been flooding in for The Fishmarket. From your classic battered sausage to slightly fancier seafood, the site has been hard at work keeping up with locals' cravings. But what dish took the top spot do you ask?"

"Roy Brett, chef-patron of Ondine and Gary Welch, owner of Welch Fishmongers, are behind this new seafood venture situated on historic Newhaven harbour. ..." Read our full review"

"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."

"A post shared by Edinburgh Food Porn & Reviews (@plateexpectations) on Jul 7, 2017 at 3:45am PDT. Part of a chain of three restaurants dotted across Edinburgh, Maki and Ramen offers soothing bowls of broth with braised bean curd (or try the ‘Hell Ramen’ if you dare!) and then plenty of fresh sushi to have on the side or as an additional course. This is probably the best sushi restaurant on this list for vegetarians, too, thanks to its thoughtful and delectable vegetarian set dishes."

"Scotland is not especially renowned for its culinary highlights. However, if you are staying in Edinburgh, you will be blessed with a very rich food scene extending much further than Haggis and fish and chips. As every major city, Edinburgh has a very broad and multicultural food scene."

"If you can't agree on whether to go for a seafood meal or get a nice juicy steak then this is the perfect compromise. You'll find a tempting menu for lunch and dinner that includes all manner of seafood, including pots of irresistible mussels, and matured Scotch beef steaks. It's conveniently located in the popular Grassmarket area, which is always bustling and vibrant."

"If you needed a reminder that you’re not far from the sea in Edinburgh, The Mussel and Steak Bar will serve it to you. This feels like a seafront restaurant, and though it might appear to be no-frills, the food here is incredible. If you like seafood, a bowl of rope-grown Scottish mussels with a glass of crisp, cold white wine is just about perfection."

"Just a few minutes from St Giles' Cathedral, Mono serves modern Italian-inspired fine dining from its restaurant at 85 South Bridge. "This place is awesome," wrote one reviewer, "I looked at the menu and thought interesting...I walked in and it changed my life." It currently has a rating of 4.8 (out of 5 stars) out of 160 Google reviews."

"The Palace of Holyroodhouse — usually simply referred to as Holyrood Palace — is the Queen's official Edinburgh residence and has frequently been at the center of Scottish history. Built in 1678, it was where James II and James IV were each married, where James V and Charles I were crowned, and where "Bonnie Prince Charlie" held court in 1745. When the Queen is away (which is typically 51 weeks of the year, as she's only here for "Royal Week" each summer), public access is permitted to the stunning Historic Apartments (former home of Mary Queen of Scots) and the State Apartments, famous for their fine furnishings, tapestries, and plasterwork."

"The abbey was later used partially as a royal residence, and as a location for the Scottish Parliament from the 13th to the 15th centuries. The abbey has seen a large chunk of Scottish history, politics and culture, including the end of the First War of Scottish Independence, and the birth and coronation of kings. The remains still show beautiful and impressive original architecture which have inspired numerous painters and writers."

"As a building of great magnitude and Scotland’s largest ever church, it’s no surprise that the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral are as awe-inspiring as its size. With each ancient brick comes a fleeting glimpse of its glory days as the seat of the Medieval Scottish Catholic Church and the more sinister times that led to destruction and turmoil during the Scottish Reformation. It’s hard to know what’s more mind reeling—the picturesque rays of light that dot across the arches or the fact that it dates back to the 12th century."

"Overlooking the North Sea and the medieval seaside town, St Andrews Cathedral is a ruined chancel dating back to the mid-12th century. It remains Scotland’s largest built cathedral to this date, with the ruins indicating that the building was approximately 119 m (390 ft) long. Built in 1158 by Bishop Arnold, the Cathedral became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland however it fell into disuse and ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th century Scottish Reformation."

"St Andrews is a town steeped in history and most notably its historic buildings. One of the oldest pieces of architecture in St Andrews is the Cathedral. You can find out more information about what to find here by visiting our History of the Castle and Cathedral Page."

"It seems that every new restaurant promises neighbourhood appeal, seasonal produce and locally sourced foods. Bia Bistrot is no different, except it really delivers. Husband-and-wife team Matthias and Roisin Llorente oversee a regularly changing menu, including venison carpaccio, glazed pork belly and a range of perfectly cooked fish."

"This couple run restaurant fuses French bistro food with an Irish influence to produce fresh, responsibly sourced, and seasonal dishes like hake with purple laver crust and samphire and homemade ice cream for dessert. Enjoy 2 courses from the daily changing set menu for £9.50 or 3 for £11."

"Bia Bistot is a couple-run neighbourhood restaurant focusing on fresh, seasonal, local and sustainable produce. Order a restaurant quality meal to be enjoyed at home from a weekly menu of dishes including slow braised pork cheeks, butternut squash risotto and ginger cake."

"Chef Paul Kitching and manager Katie O’Brien came up to Edinburgh with a big success under the belt in the form of Manchester’s Juniper restaurant, and they soon set to work on another award-winning formula. 21212’s name reflects its unusual dining structure. It gives customers a choice of two starters, followed by an interim course, then two main course choices, another interim choice then a pick of two desserts."

"21212 is a Michelin starred restaurant housed in a beautiful Georgian Townhouse in the New Town of Edinburgh. Spanning all four flours of the beautifully renovated house, the restaurant boasts a large dining area with an open kitchen, a smaller drawing room, two private dining areas and four extremely luxurious bedrooms. The menu is a modern take on classic French cuisine."

"The four bedrooms above this Michelin-starred restaurant with rooms are as stylish as the food. The contemporary/baroque look (at times surprising, but always sensual) and unexpectedly leafy views, make this a low-key option with a high-octane experience."
