Edinburgh Information

It's easy to imagine that every night is like Hogmanay in Edinburgh, and, although New Year’s Eve is something else again, good-natured revelry and fun-filled celebration is what the city does best. You can safely expect a merry old time of rolling from one jovial bar to another, of picking your way through the shopping delights, snapping a few inevitable keepsakes and explaining the particulars of your Edinburgh hen weekend to the odd friendly enquirer whilst you’re group is out and about. There are also an incalculable number of places to stock up on food throughout your stay, whether seriously sexy restaurants, homely andvalue-for-money family diners or even the nasty fast food emporiums on Princes Street.

Eventually, of course, you'll arrive all blurry-eyed at a jumping, though unpretentious, nightclub, probably not far from the much-maligned, but still hugely entertaining, Grassmarket area - a cobbled cornucopia of merry hedonists - and proceed to out-Beyonce every diva in the house. The party's been going on up here for a few hundred years now, so don't worry about being late, just get here!
