Food & DrinkFor a whole host of fine restaurants, welcoming bars and lively nightclubs, head for Grassmarket in central Edinburgh. Lying in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle you can reach Grassmarket by crossing George IV Bridge and then going along Victoria Street. This area was not always filled with such leisure and fun; Grassmarket was once the main place for executions! Today though, you can kick back and enjoy a glass of fine Scottish whisky before tackling the traditional dish of Haggis - minced sheep heart, lungs and liver mixed with oatmeal and stuffed into a sheep’s stomach and boiled!
