Edinburgh beer garden with views 'nothing short of breathtaking' named the best in Scotland
The Cold Town House in Edinburgh was named the best beer garden in Scotland by travel website Big 7.
Discussing the iconic spot, the website said that you'd be forgiven for thinking that a beer garden in such a busy city centre would be "impossible."
However, it noted that the views from the bar in the Grassmarket area of the Old Town are "nothing short of breath-taking."
After a day of exploring the historic city, visitors can enjoy a pint at this pub while taking in sights of the nearby castle, which looms large over revellers.
The site added that a visit here is the "stuff of dreams," turning an ordinary beer garden visit into something truly magical.
The beer garden has been praised for its stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town. (Image: Tripadvisor) The location was commended by visitors on Tripadvisor, who gave it a 4/5 out of 722 reviews.
One person said: "The best bar in Edinburgh by far. Awesome service, experience and drinks. The views are just stunning and the staff couldn't have been more friendly."
Another added: "Great for drinks, lovely environment with great selection of beers on tap!"

Other Scottish spots were listed, including The Dores Inn in Inverness, the Ben Nevis Inn in Fort William and The Old Mill Inn in Pitlochry.
The latter, which was originally built in the 18th century as a mill, was highlighted as a particularly interesting visit.

Dundee tourist tax early consultation approved
An early consultation on a possible tourist tax in Dundee has been approved. A report on implementing a visitor levy in the city was considered by councillors on Monday evening. During a meeting of the economic growth committee, councillors approved an early engagement exercise with local businesses and residents. A working group will be set up to engage with local businesses, residents and 'any other relevant partners'. Feedback from this will then be heard by councillors at a committee meeting, where they will decide whether a statutory consultation should be approved. The earliest date a Dundee tourist tax will be launched is spring 2028. Edinburgh City Council was the first in Scotland to approve a visitor levy. From next summer, it will charge visitors an extra 5% on top of their accommodation costs. The early engagement period is set to begin this summer and run until spring next year. If approved, a statutory consultation would run for 12 weeks. A decision will then be made in autumn 2026 on whether a Dundee tourist tax should be introduced. If it is approved, an 18-month implementation period will allow businesses and communities time to prepare for the levy. However not all councillors backed the move. Conservative councillor Derek Scott called for councillors to note the report but take no further action, saying it could put people off visiting Dundee. 'I've always been opposed to a visitor levy,' said Mr Scott. 'I think the Scottish Government should be providing sufficiently in their funding allocation to local authorities to fully support the tourism sector. 'I've always been concerned about the impact a tourist tax would have on attracting visitors in what is a very competitive market.'

The festival's final day will be an almighty anniversary celebration, with Mànran marking 15 years together, Scott Wood celebrating a decade since the release of his acclaimed album Upsurge, the mighty Trail West reflecting on 15 years of music, and Highland favourites Torridon hitting 20 years together. The multi-award-winning breachfront event is also set to cement its place as one of Scotland's top destination festivals, staging a host of truly unique fringe events and activities that allow festivalgoers to unwind, connect with the raw beauty of the landscape and make the most of their time on Tiree. In a Scottish music festival first, attendees will be able to enjoy a sauna from Spear Sauna situated right on the beachfront, overlooking the Atlantic – with the option to pair this with a cold dip.

'TMF is all about providing a platform for independent artists who capture the hearts and imaginations of our audiences and we know how beloved Callum is among Tiree audiences, having risen to incredible heights since his first visit to the island. 'We're also excited to bring some unique collaborations, plus a few surprises, to our stages on the festival's day, completing a packed 2025 line up. 'The wider programme encapsulates and celebrates the rugged beauty of Tiree. This expanded and enhanced fringe programme creates experiences for our audiences that they cannot get anywhere else in Scotland. There are not many places in the world where you can enjoy a seafront sauna, surfing, a distillery tour and go to a music festival all within five square miles of one another.' Julie Fowlis will perform at the festival (Image: TMF) Callum Beattie said: 'Tiree is one of my favourite places on earth, and it's the only Scottish festival we are playing this year, before our Hydro show in November. I love it there – great music and great people.'

I only ever travel on a budget – how I find the cheapest place to eat in every city I visit
Plus, the UK's top 10 best cheap eats revealed by TripAdvisor – including a cheese toastie restaurant and falafel shack DIG IN I only ever travel on a budget – how I find the cheapest place to eat in every city I visit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHETHER a foodie or not, when away on holiday you have to eat - but you may not always want to splash out. Whilst you might want to splash out on one boujee meal during your holiday, spending hundreds on food is not always the aim of a trip away. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 I have travelled all over the world, but always on a budget Credit: Cyann fielding 10 As a result, I have found some top ways to make sure I get to eat great food but on the cheap Credit: Cyann fielding But finding cheap places to eat, whilst still maintaining quality or feeling the experience of a place can be hard to find in a city you don't know. Over the years I have travelled, I am usually on an extremely tight budget - but I love trying different food. As a result, I have collated my go-to resources for finding good eats, on a budget. Too Good to Go and Olio Food apps have been around a while now, and if you aren't already using Too Good To Go you are missing out. There are others too like Olio, but I do find Too Good To Go is the best. I have used the app both in and around the UK, but also in Barcelona, New York and San Francisco. Whilst some places have better offerings than others, new restaurants, cafes and eateries are constantly partnering with the app. In New York, I managed to pick up two stuffed-to-the-brim salad boxes with rice, lettuce, meat, and veggies for just $6. I have used the app multiple times whilst living in London too and my best purchases have included a Toby Carvery for £4 and a box of six Crispy Creme doughnuts of my choosing, for £3.59. Too Good To Go operates in 19 countries including many European, North America (Canada and the United States) and Australia. Gok Wan opens table-less restaurant where diners are served their food from the floor Olio on the other hand is a food-sharing app used in over 49 countries. Lots of the time, instead of full meals or cafe treats you can get on Too Good To Go, on Olio you can get free food like veggies and bread. Markets and Street Food There is no question that markets and street food are great places to grab a bite. And whilst some markets can be expensive, there are many that offer great deals and the food is still top notch. Each city tends to have a least one food market, but also in places like New York there will be street vendors on corners selling basic like hot dogs for a few dollars. 10 This includes using a variety of apps, like Too Good To Go Credit: cyann fielding Most market finds in and around Europe have cost me less than €10, and typically if you watch out for portion sizes before ordering - one meal can be shared between two. This is something I often do when travelling with my sister to cut down costs. Tastecard, Appetite and Neotaste New deal apps arise all the time - especially if you are like me and live in the capital. Ones like Tastecard have been around for a while and give customers a discount to many restaurants in the UK and Ireland. Typically, the discount is up to 50 per cent or two meals for the price of one. Two newer kids on the block are Appetite and Neotaste - and I am already using both apps. Appetite is like a social media-slash-dating site for food. You essentially have offerings on the app that you swipe on 'to try', 'skip' or 'been'. 10 Going down less tourist-y streets is often having lower prices Credit: cyann fielding There is also a map function, to see place near you. Prices are indicted by '£', with more '£' meaning more expensive. Neotaste, on the other hand, comes from foodie content creator, Eating with Tod. You do need to pay for a membership which starts from £2.99 a month, but it gives you discounts and even some freebies at some great places across different cities. The app currently operates in five UK cities, Vienna, over 30 German destinations and six destinations in The Netherlands. Google Maps Whilst many know you can search for places to eat on Google Maps, many also forget that you can filter these places by price. Simply find the city you are in on Google Maps, and search something like 'restaurant', 'food market' or 'cafe' depending on what you want. Once searched, in the top left hand corner of the map, you will see a price tab. 10 But eating on the cheap doesn't mean you don't get the same experience as spending more money Credit: cyann fielding Click on it and you will get a drop down menu of different pound signs. I tend to select '£' and '££' to filter out the more expensive places, and see the cheaper spots near to where I am at the time. Bib Gourmand I only discovered Bib Gourmand recently and have quickly become obsessed. Via Michelin Guide's website or app, you can filter for an option called 'Bib Gourmand' which Michelin Guide describes as "good quality, good value cooking". These places have not quite received a Michelin star - but this means they are still great spots. The award recognises restaurants that offer high-quality, satisfying meals at an okay price. Bib Gourmand is still a mark of excellence for restaurants, but you will be getting food for way less than you would at a Michelin star restaurant. Also, after selecting the filter, each restaurant will have either '£' or '££', indicting even the cheapest sites. 10 Some sites like Bib Gourmand allows you to eat at top places for less Credit: cyann fielding Area/Profession specific discounts Area and profession specific discounts are a great perk to be more aware of. If you are a student with an ID card, this will be accepted in most countries as proof you are a student. Not only will this help you get into attractions for less, but particularly at big chains, get food for less too. In the UK, Blue Light discount also gives emergency service workers great deals. Depending on where you work too, there may be area discounts. For example, if you work in and around London Bridge - there are discounts and offers available via a London Bridge virtual discount card. 10 There are also specific discounts depending on your profession Credit: Cyann fielding Backstreets I'm not telling you to go down dark alleys in search of cheap eats, but often the streets behind main tourist thoroughfares have the same food options for a fraction of the value. In Amsterdam for example, I opted to go down a different road to avoid crowds on the more popular Damstraat - which leads tourists to Dam Square. With my tummy rumbling, I dived into a deli and picked up a large sandwich for around €5. When then cutting back on to the next street, I walked past a similar eatery selling sandwiches for €10. Keeping your eye out and taking different routes certainly does sometimes pay off. 10 It is worth looking at portion sizes too, to see if you can split a meal between two people Credit: Cyann Fielding TikTok and Instagram If you are an avid pre-planner like myself, then TikTok and Instagram are great resources for finding cheap places to eat. It might be a little time consuming, but after 10 minutes of scrolling on the a hashtag 'X' city cheap eats, you will find a few places. I will then go onto Google Maps, pre-save the place and keep doing that until I feel I have enough places saved. Then when in that city, and hungry, I will simply open my Google Maps and see the pre-saved eating spots closest to me and head to one. MealPal Each time I head to the states, I find it trickier than imagined to find cheap eats. Typically, portion sizes are bigger. 10 Food markets are also a great option for quick eats Credit: Cyann fielding But often I find I am spending an excessive amount of money, to throw half the dish away as I can't carry it around with me. Whilst MealPal is now available in London too, it is widely available across America - including Boston, Chicago, Miami, Washington D.C and Seattle. You can also use it in Sydney, Singapore and Toronto. What is great about MealPal is it champions itself on meals under a certain price - for example, less than £5 in London and less than $6 in America. London was also named TripAdvisor's best destination in the WORLD… here's our top picks for pubs, bars, hotels and attractions.
