It looks like summer has finally arrived, which means many of us will be thinking about heading to one of Edinburgh’s many amazing beer gardens.
With that in mind, we asked our readers to name their favourite beer garden at a pub in Edinburgh – and we had so many responses.
Recommendations ranged from traditional pubs to trendy cocktail gardens, as well as family-friendly spots with plenty of space for the children to run about and the occasional 'hidden gem’.
We couldn’t include all your suggestions but here are some of those which cropped up most often. Take a look through our photo gallery to see 18 amazing Edinburgh beer gardens, as chosen by you.
