A great area for a few beers and food with an array of traditional pubs (Biddy Mulligans my favourite). The Grassmarket sits right underneath the Castle and always has a good atmosphere. There is also a market with various stalls selling local produce every Saturday.

An area below the below the castle It is a very lively area, many bars and eating places to pick from. Beautiful and charming streets nearby. Although the Grassmarket’s infamy as the site of public execution stretches back over 300 years, the final hanging in Edinburgh of a convicted criminal is, perhaps surprisingly, within living memory: 23rd June 1954. There is still a pub called 'The Last Drop' The White Hart Inn is Edinburgh’s most haunted… Dating back to 1516, the White Hart Inn perhaps has more reason than most to be haunted. Pulled hair, slamming doors and flying chutney bottles have been reported, while paranormal experts allegedly captured the whispered words, ‘Help me!’ The Wee Pub is Scotland’s smallest. Measuring just 17ft by 15ft, The Wee Pub is reputedly the country’s smallest drinkery, accommodating just 20 patrons – at a squeeze! In keeping with diminutive size of the establishment, even the drinks are listed on postcards, with magnifying lenses on hand. Greyfriars’ Bobby is one of Edinburgh’s most famous residents, a statue in recognition of which is erected on the corner of Candlemaker Row. Bobby was a Skye Terrier who memorably kept watch over his owner’s grave for 14 years until his own death in 1872 – or, by some accounts, in 1867, with a lookalike taking over thereafter. Either way, Bobby is the only dog to be afforded the Freedom of the City in Britain.

The Grassmarket is located directly below Edinburgh Castle and forms part of one of the main east-west vehicle arteries through the city centre. It adjoins the Cowgate and Candlemaker Row at the east end, the West Bow (the lower end of Victoria Street) in the north-east corner, King's Stables Road to the north west and the West Port to the west. Leading off from the south-west corner is the Vennel, on the east side of which can still be seen some of the best surviving parts of the Flodden and Telfer town walls.

Lots of nice bars and pubs with outdoor seating. Mary's Milk Bar is on the famous Grassmarket and evokes the glamour of old deco ice-cream parlours. Great for espresso, gelato and chocolate.Only a short walk from the Royal Mile, the Grassmarket is one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant and colourful areas. Landmarks include Greyfriar’s Bobby. Each Saturday from 10am – 5pm is Greater Grassmarket - home grown produce including seasonal fruit and vegetables, freshly baked breads, sweet treats and handcrafted gifts from local craftmakers.
