White Hart

The city of Edinburgh’s oldest tavern follows in the footsteps of Oliver Cromwell, William Wordsworth, and Robert Burns. Visitors can enjoy a tankard of fine ale or one of the world-famous whiskies available. Established in 1516, The White Hart is named after the rarest of all highland creatures, which can be spotted occasionally, but not more than once in a century. This animal was used as a heraldic symbol by King Richard II in the 14th century. For nearly five hundred years, The White Hart Inn has been welcoming travellers through its doors. Remaining true to its heritage, The White Hart Inn offers a wide selection of traditional food and drink, including award-winning haggis and champion ales. The venue is also dog-friendly, ensuring that all patrons can enjoy the historic charm and hospitality of this establishment.
