Teuchters Landing, Leith, Edinburgh

Slightly tricky to find, this is an old dockside building (apparently the former waiting room for the Leith-Aberdeen ferry, ‘Tueuchtar’ being slang for a Highlander) brought back into use as a gastro. Quite characterful and multi-roomed; the main bar is pleasing to the eye with a high ceiling clad in tongue and groove wood panelling, third length wall panelling of the same and undressed stone walls covered in rugby paraphernalia. Conservatory area to the rear. Pub is GBG listed but I raised an eyebrow when I saw 5 cask offerings on a Tuesday afternoon and sure enough my Crossborders XPA was from a long-undisturbed pump (NBSS 2) at an upmarket £2.50 a half. Another one that probably is better visited on a busy evening but really, don't put cask on you can't sell during the early part of the week!
