Edinburgh has a wide array of gorgeous beer gardens, some found through hidden doors, some protected by high walls covered in green ivy, and some are lucky to have one of the most iconic views in the Capital.
Cold Town House on the Grassmarket has its beer garden sitting right at the foot of Edinburgh Castle.

The magnificent castle might just be the best thing to gaze at when you take that first sip of beer, straight from the tap.
Other cracking spots to enjoy a drink in the sun include the Pear Tree, Bellfield Taproom and The Outhouse.
The Scottish Government announced that from Monday, pubs, restaurants and cafes could open their doors again after months of lockdown.
