Lifestyle editor Gary Flockhart recommends going to this Portobello pub for a cosy pint this autumn. He said: "Foresters Guild on Portobello High Street has these cosy beach-style huts in its beer garden that are perfect for a quiet pint and a chat with friends. Being so close to the sea means it can be a little chilly during the colder months, but each of the huts has its own heater. This is a great little spot, but please don't tell everyone, as they only have about half-a-dozen huts!"

Where: 3-5 St Mary's Street, Edinburgh EH1 1TA. Admittedly, it lost a bit of its magic when the original owner, Ian Walker, passed away several years back. But it still retains enough of its old charm, such as the shabby-chic Whithnail & I-like decor, and Edinburgh Fringe posters from festivals long gone by. It's a bar with so much history. Legendary folk musicians like Bert Jansch and Dick Gaughan cut their musical teeth playing at the weekly open-mic night, and so many famous names have passed through its doors. A dying breed, the St Mary’s Street boozer is a throwback to a bygone age."
