We all know Edinburgh has some of the best pubs around. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has just released its Good Beer Guide, showcasing the best pubs, bars and clubs up and down the UK. And a huge portion of Capital pubs have been highlighted in the coveted list.

The guide uses information compiled by pub-goers up and down the UK, and regularly updated, which can be accessed on the CAMRA app. So, without further ado, these are the pubs in Edinburgh which were championed in the guide.
