Whigham’s Wine Cellars

Scottish Restaurant, Wine Bar

Established in 1766, Whigham’s is an old Georgian cellar below Edinburgh’s teeming streets with a punchy line in Scottish cooking. Diners can snuggle up in a candlelit alcove in the brick wine vault, or bask in the sunshine in the bright airy restaurant. The grown-up ambience (children are not allowed) attracts smart business types and romantic couples in equal measure. Food includes the famous seafood platter and Scottish roast beef, with an understandably well-constructed wine list.
