For a bar that is right on the corner of the Royal Mile and Cockburn St (note: this is pronounced \"co-burn\", but giggle away) this pub is both nice and Scottish, to make it appealing to tourists, but also laid back, got a great selection of whiskies and lots of wee nooks and window sill seats to sit at and enjoy a wee dram. I actually quite like it for just that purpose. I wouldn't see it becoming a local boozer, but they're whisky selection is superb. It was here I tried the Ardbeg Alligator, immediately fell in love, swore off all other whisky, went out to seek a bottle and then swiftly decided a \u00a340 Talisker wasn't so bad in comparison to the pricey little number the Alligator is. Don't come cheap. Anyway, I digress. Go here for the whisky, find a nice seat, and just enjoy.
