Bannerman's Bar in Edinburgh: A Great Place for a Pint and a Live Band

by Paul2001

I figured that Edinburgh would have plenty of places of hang out and have a pint and I was right. Out of the bunch that I visited Bannerman's may have been my favourite. I was so swept up with the layout of this bar that I wanted to take it back to Toronto. Bannerman's is divided into two sections. The front has an island bar and is decorated in sort of a Goth set up with spiders and bats. The back which is actually located right under an overhead bridge and feels like it is in a crypt is set up for live bands. I walked in and saw rock band that was decent. Usually you should expect to pay a cover of abou 5 pounds. The staff here was quite friendly. I hung out here before dinner and enjoyed myself. casual

The Horse Shoe Bar: My First Real Scottish Pub

by Paul2001

The Horse Shoe Bar is the very first authentic Scottish Pub that I have ever drunk in. This sort of pub is now found throughout the world, even in Shanghai. However there is nothing like the real thing. It Scotland they are not "corporate" and have a homey feel. The Horse Shoe is no different. It is rather large and has mutlipule flatscreen televisions. The bar is at the centre of the tavern and offers quite a few brews. I did not drink my first malt scotch here but had some Scottish beer. Even this was a Sunday afternoon it was still pretty full. Casual

Finding "trad" in Scotland: Traditional music

by travelmad478

I am a fan of traditional music of all nations, and Scotland's music scene is legendary. You can find excellent local music being played live all over the country. Check out this website to see who'll be playing in the towns you're visiting.

The Whiski Bar: The Scottish sure love their "Whiski" ;)

by deb.workman

During the day, the Whiski Bar is a pub where great food and drink can be enjoyed inexpensively within a quiet, relaxed, comfortable environment. At night, the pub comes alive with nightly live music (with a changing musical theme every night) and a crowd of Edinburgh locals. The bar itself is overly decorated, but in a good way. All throughout the place there is dark wood, decorative mirrors, signs, nic-naks, and bottles of good 'ole fashion Whiskey. Casual

Camp Forster: Water and Skies

by nickandchris

From where we camp it is the most wonderful sight watching the sky change colour and reflect in the sea as the night draws in.It seems to become really calm and just the most amazing sight. Often we spot seals just before darkness as conditions are perfect.And there are always the sunsets to watch....... Yes, you do get them in Scotland!!

The Garage: Scotlands Biggest Club

by Sairaanhoitaja

Boasting over 8 different DJ’s on any one night all acting as whirling dervish pied-pipers leading the crowds into fits of spontaneous dancing, The Garage has established a substantial following in Glasgow and are unrivalled in their ability to deliver memorable nights out. Keeping the musical standards high while maintaining all the important elements of fun, atmosphere and very pocket friendly bar prices.From Indie and Alternative Rock to R’n’B, Chart, Pop, Classic Hits and the Ultimate Guitar music split over 5 incredible rooms, they have it all under one, giant, roof. Anything.

Cathouse: Glasgow Metal Nightclub

by Sairaanhoitaja

Decent nighclub right next to Glasgow Central Station.2 floors, first playing metal, second playing more emo stuff.Drinks can be a bit expensive so look out for the offers.Also has themed nights, check the website or flyers for more details.The Cathouse also reguarly holds live gigs, for more popular bands such as Gorgoroth, Turisas, Abgott, Enthroned, etc, as well as small local/unknown bands.Can make a good night, but expensive to get in, so look out for half price tickets availible for free at the Catwalk Bar just up the road from the Cathouse. Anything goes, but avoid football colours.

Great listings website: Good website for live music in Scotland

by GillianMcLaughlin

Scotland is rightly proud of its musical heritage. Live music is a BIG thing in Scotland and you can happen upon music performances in many pubs and bars across the country, much of it free of charge.This website centralises information on some key Scottish cities and is kept very up to date. Music is categorised (folk and world music, jazz etc). Details of venues are provided. All you need to do is put on your party head and get out there. Mostly "come as you are".

Uisge Beatha: A Fine Scottish Welcome

by Gage17

Don't ask me how to pronounce it, but definitely stop by if your in Glasgow's west side. This was the first place my friends took me after I arrived, and it happened to be a night when they had live music. The crowd was quite diverse - young & old, conservative & hippie - and everyone was friendly. Good times had by all.

Ghost Walks in Edinburgh: A new definition of Nightlife

by JanPeter74

When walking on the Royal Mile you cannot miss the ticket booths for ghostwalk tickets. A ghostwalk during the evening hours (duration of most walks is approx. 1 hour) is really to be recommended. The walks have different themes, but the general idea is that the one who is leading the group tells you “terrible” stories from the past and leads you to the scariest places of the Old Town, dark alleys and corners as well as the many underground vaults that lie beneath the city streets. Abandoned nearly 200 years ago, these atmospheric chambers have been recently discovered and excavated. You are lead through candlelit tunnels and dark, gloomy passages, while several frightening and creepy tales are told. It is really incredible how many vaults and underground locations can be found in the city.One of the best known operators are Mercat Tours. Not something too cool.
