12 Things Not To Do In Edinburgh

Video Description

What are the don'ts of visiting Edinburgh, Scotland? Visit Edinburgh, a city that is a treasure trove of history and culture and is well worth the trip. The fact that it is so unique, though, also means that there are many chances for you to make a fool of yourself while going about it. When traveling to Edinburgh, following are some of the most typical errors that tourists make. But don’t worry! The worst thing that may happen to you as a result of making any of these blunders is catching a cold and perhaps getting some funny stares from the locals. However, being well-prepared will not only make your trip to the Scottish capital more pleasurable but can also save you a little bit of money and clear up some of the misunderstanding you may encounter there. 1. Putting in an order for a single malt whiskey served over ice Or even worse, with a Coca-Cola It is easy to see why Scots are so proud of their whiskey. A complicated beverage that is as refined as any French wine has been crafted by using generations' worth of experience and years' worth of maturing. If you ask for your single malt to be served on the rocks, a knowledgeable bartender will highly recommend that you drink it neat first (the way it was intended to be served), and if required, add a few drops of water to your glass. Those with less discernment will put the ice in the glass, but they will be evaluating you while they do so. If you spoil the flavor of a perfectly nice dram by adding Coke to it, the grading will be that much more rigorous. 2. You shouldn't just drink whiskey all the time. During your time in Edinburgh, you should definitely have a few drams of the "water of life," but save the distillery tours for when you're in the Highlands and Islands.

Gin is big in Edinburgh: It is reported that the city has the highest per capita consumption of gin in the whole United Kingdom. You may take a tour of the Edinburgh Gin distillery, and then go to the Heads & Tales pub for a drink afterward. Similarly, in the Summerhall arts theatre's Dick's Bar, you can have Pickering's Gin, which is produced in the building next door, straight from the tap. The 56 North gin stockpile is the most extensive in all of Scotland, including more than 170 individual bottles. 3. Ignoring the raincoat Even during the warmest months of the year, the weather in Scotland is famously unpredictable. It's been stated that whether the sky is clear or overcast, you shouldn't put too much stock in either one since you never know what the weather may bring. Even if you want to travel to Edinburgh in the middle of the summer, you should still bring a decent raincoat that is waterproof with you. Otherwise, you run the risk of being soaked. It is not worth your time to make an effort to control the situation using an umbrella since it will not hold up for long in the often-strong gusts.
