"The Canny Man's in Morningside is an Edinburgh institution established in 1871 and passed down through 5 generations of the Kerr family. As famous chef Rick Stein said 'The Canny Man's is the best pub in the world.'
The establishment is well known far and wide for it’s quirky nature and ‘never’ changing décor. The interior sees every nook and cranny filled with everything from moose heads to muskets, sheet music to stuffed animals. A genuinely one of a kind bar and restaurant. The restaurant specialises in the best Scottish produce with a strong focus on local suppliers. Alongside this they have a well stocked gantry of over a 200 malt whiskies and a large wine list. The Canny Man's is very much a unique experience in Edinburgh and not to be missed."

**Review: Cold Town House** We were fortunate to snag a booking for the rooftop terrace at Cold Town House on a Saturday, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle that set the perfect backdrop for an evening out. Sharing a cold brew tower with friends was a unique and refreshing experience, and paired with their delicious, freshly made pizzas, it made for an ideal outing. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Cold Town House is definitely a perfect spot to enjoy great food, drinks, and company in a stunning setting. Highly recommend!
