13. Wilkies Bar
This Henderson Street pub was chosen by two of our readers as a great place for a cosy pint. The Leith pub provided inspiration for Edinburgh author Irvine Welsh, and was mentioned in his novel, Filth. Welsh famously brought James McAvoy – who starred as main character, Bruce Robertson, in the film adaptation of Filth – to Wilkies for a celebratory pint after the film was released. | Submitted Photo: Third Party
