Corner pub, off the main road and in a posher street than the main drag, there’s three gentrified places in this well to do street. Single long room with an undulating shape, the counter is to the left on entering through an arched affair. Seating at tables and chairs, the tables are powered by large church type candles, and there’s a few screens hanging about. A bit of pump clip decor but not extreme, otherwise rough cast plaster and stone walls with company posters (Teuchters Landing in Leith et al), supplemented by whisky maps, sports shirts and such like. Five pulls with interesting and standard kegs plus a wide whisky range. GBG listed but too middle class, and pricey, for my tastes, the mode of pulling convinced me it was a return tray system but WhatPub doesn’t flag it as such.

Side street 'bar + bunker' that turns out to be a Good Beer Guide listed alehouse with a convivial atmosphere. Several seating / dining areas in a semi-open layout around the bar, all having festive decoration when I visited. There was a decent choice of real ales from the five handpumps: Stewart's Pentland IPA (£4.85), Fyne Ales Jarl, a pair from Orkney - Island Life and the seasonal Clootie Dumpling - and Landlord.
