Travel tips

Stag nights are one of the most important nights of a single man’s life. It’s his final night before getting married and being forever tied down to one person. Not that that’s a bad thing, but it can be scary – which is why having one last night on the town where anything goes is so important to get right.

And one way of ensuring you get it right is by having your stag night in a fantastic, lively city like Edinburgh. Scotland’s capital is crawling with some of the best pubs, clubs and bars in the country – and spending a night exploring them is sure to be a memorable night for all involved.

You could start the night by visiting some of the old-fashioned haunts on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile – the high street leading uphill towards the glorious castle – to get things started. You’ll enjoy meeting plenty of other revellers looking for a night to remember along your route and may even find that your party begins to rapidly expand as you make your way through the town.

One port of call that’s simply essential for any big night in Edinburgh is the Grassmarket. This well-hidden locale is packed full of pubs that are well-known hosts to both stag and hen parties aplenty, so they will be more than happy to accommodate even the rowdiest bunch. From there, the choice is yours. You can head to the delights of Lothian Road, where you’ll find several clubs nearby for heady trance beats or, if you prefer more rock to your roll, move towards the Cowgate to find some of Edinburgh’s best rock music on hand.

Whatever your stag night entails, and whether you plan it down to the last minute or decide to just see where the night takes you, you can guarantee that a night on the town in Edinburgh won’t be easily forgotten, for whatever reason. Perhaps you’re looking for a perfect night of laughs and quiet chat with your close friends in the pub, or maybe it’s more your scene to head out on a night of debauchery? But whatever you’re after, this Scottish city will offer it up, no matter what your taste.

And as many of Edinburgh’s best party venues are close to myriad Edinburgh hotels, you won’t have to worry about making it home at the end of the night – if you make it at all!
