Cracking spot for a bit of live music, and a pint while soaking up some lovely city views. There are a few bars and food stalls dotted about, so plenty of choice on that front. Can get very crowded and it could be tough to find a spot.

Loved this place to meet friends when arriving in Edinburgh. Can’t believe the council made it close down due to temporary planning
