There are over 385 pubs in the Scottish capital, most serving up historic lore as well as traditional local brews. So it was nothing short of thirsty work trying to whittle over year’s worth of storied watering holes to find the 10 oldest pubs in Edinburgh. But whittle we did \u2013 and for a good cause, as when you next have the chance to visit to this handsome city (as part of Insight Vacations’ Country Roads of Scotland<\/a> tour, perhaps), we’ve already done the research, so you can just drink in the history. Cheers.<\/p>\n
