Hemma
Set among the glass-and-steel architecture of the redeveloped Holyrood district, Hemma
(Swedish for 'at home') is the latest in a line of Scandinavian bars, a funky fish-tank of a
place furnished with comfy armchairs and sofas and brightly coloured wooden chairs.
Good coffee and cakes during the day, real ale and cocktails in the evening.

Sheep Heid Inn
PUB
Possibly the oldest inn in Edinburgh (with a licence dating back to 1360), the Sheep Heid
feels more like a country pub than an Edinburgh bar. Set in the semirural shadow of Ar-
thur's Seat, it's famous for its 19th-century skittles alley and lovely little beer garden.
