Memorable Pubs in Edinburgh

Deacon Brodie's Tavern, at the center of the famed Royal Mile, comes with its own sordid history. Named after William Brodie, 1741-1788, who apparently was a good citizen by day, nasty robber by night, and the inspiration behind Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Maxies Restaurant and Bar. This famous tourist hotspot has a garden terrace with great views overlooking Old Town. Its entrance is three levels down on Johnston Terrace - just below The Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Royal Mile.

Greyfriars Bobby. This restaurant is named after a famous terrier who stood by his master's grave for 14 years. Apparently this story is only believable if you have downed a few pints at the bar!
