Determined to see what makes an Edinburgh stag do so great, Simon, our Edinburgh Specialist, turned over to Andy with a brilliant idea…

Check out the vibrant Scottish capital and let StagWeb pay for it!

So, one very fortunate day, Andy switched the vibrant atmosphere of our office in Bath for the captivating songs of whistling bagpipes and history pub crawl opportunities of Edinburgh.

When we saw him again, he was really into kilts.

And buzzing to share his experience with everyone!

Scroll on for all the lowdown.

How was getting to Edinburgh?

“Getting into central Edinburgh from the airport is a breeze!

“As soon as you come out of the airport arrivals, you can easily get a taxi, take the bus or the tram – I opted for the tram which costed £9.50 for an open return.”

“One good thing about the tram… no traffic!

“The journey took around 30 minutes to get from the airport to Princes Street where our accommodation was.

“You also go right past Murrayfield Stadium – the home of the Scotland rugby team.

What Were Your First Impressions?

“Edinburgh is a great mixture of old and new!

“Right away, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile spoil you with unforgettable views of the city.

“While the St. James Quarter mall on Leith Street is packed with bars, restaurants and cool spots.

Top Things to Do in Edinburgh?

“Visit the Royal Mile! It’s an electric place to be in, with a great range of pubs and restaurants with outside dining where you’re never far from an entertaining street performer.

What Are Cool Places to Grab a Bite in Edinburgh? 🍔🍺

Oink Victoria Street – 34 Victoria St, Edinburgh EH1 2JW – “If you’re a fan of a pork bap with all the trimmings, and who isn’t (vegans… that’s who!) head to Oink for a freshly made pork bap, stuffing, apple sauce, and crackling.”

What Was Your Accommodation?

“I opted for Roomzzz on Princes Street which was the perfect location for staying close to Edinburgh’s party hotspots and nightlife scene.

“From here, you’re around 15 minutes’ walk from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.

“The style of accommodation is self-catering with a small kitchenette if you’d like to whip up a quick bite before you head out to the city.

Is Edinburgh Easy to Walk?

“It’s on the compact side which comes with its benefits!

“For example, if you’re on the Royal Mile, you’re approx. a 2-minute walk from Victoria Street (stated to be the inspiration behind Harry Potter).

“Once you reach the bottom of Victoria Street, you’ll find yourself in the Grassmarket quarter, which is packed with pubs, bars and restaurants with plenty of opportunities for a cold pint under the sun!

“And if you fancy giving your legs a rest, taxis are easy to come by and the trams will get you around the whole of Edinburgh (avoiding the traffic).”

Any Recommendations?

“If you want a break from the beers, check out Camera Obscura & World of Illusions Edinburgh on 549 Castlehill, EH1 2ND.

“It is jam-packed with over 100 mind-breaking illusions that you don’t need to be drunk to enjoy!”

Any Final Thoughts?

“Edinburgh is truly versatile and has something for everyone!

“With its pub-dense streets, famous distilleries, whiskeys, massive breakfasts, and awesome nightlife, it’s perfect for stags.”
