Whether you’re looking for free attractions, scenic hikes, traditional Scots cuisine or indeed a whisky with friends, Edinburgh has you well and truly covered. Naturally, some people want to enjoy the Scottish weather (indecisive as it is) in the capital and that’s where Edinburgh’s wonderful beer gardens come in.
We’re enjoying a wonderfully sunny spring, so if you want to make the most of it, here are some of our favourite Edinburgh beer gardens.
