16 Best Bars & Pubs in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"Legend has it that The Sheep's Heid has been serving thirsty and hungry patrons (including, reportedly, Mary Queen of Scots) since 1360, which would make it one of the oldest pubs in Scotland (if not the oldest). In the centuries since, it's remained charming enough for Queen Elizabeth II to visit, and it's pleasantly cluttered with knick-knacks that testify to its long history. The pub might be old but the drink selection is thoroughly modern, with a full range of gins and even an aperitivo hour in addition to the expected beers and whiskies." - Krystin Arneson
