Burns Night Edinburgh: Here's 6 places to get a Burns Night takeaway

Contini is offering a free course meal with whisky for Burns Night

It's been a terrible 10 months for our hospitality industry as the pandemic has put many Capital businesses to the very brink - some have even been forced to close.

Which is why it’s so important to support local. So why not do so while enjoying a tasty meal and toasting to Rabbie Burns?

We’ve put together a list of Edinburgh businesses which are offering something special this Burns Night.
