#253: All Bar One, George Street, Edinburgh
When you’ve been to one All Bar One, you’ve been to them all. This one’s slightly different from the other one in town in that it’s more rectangular, otherwise it’s […]

#58: The Kenilworth, Rose Street, Edinburgh
This is another of Rose Street’s well-preserved old pubs, with a huge, intricately-carved mahogany bar, tiles, a fancy ceiling and stained-glass windows. This certainly attracts tourists. For no particular reason, […]
