Hotel and apartment recommendations
Welcome reception venue
The Caves
A truly unique venue that makes up the sub-structure of the 18th Century South Bridge. There is no venue more Edinburgh than the Caves, or more Scottish, if you consider that there was once so much whisky stored here that it became known as "Whisky Row".
Every room has a story to tell and a special place in Scottish history—from vaults that served as the stables to the French Cavalry who were at one time bodyguards to the Royal Family, to remains of the houses that pre-date the Bridge itself, with the original terracotta floor tiles still intact!

Playfair Library Hall
A William Playfair architectural masterpiece on the southern side of Edinburgh University's Old College. The Library Hall has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and runs to more than 190 feet in length. The Playfair Library was used as a working library from the 1820s until the 1960s when the University's main collection was moved to George Square.
