5 of the best Edinburgh pubs for watching the Euros
With the Euros kicking off on the weekend of June 11-13, make sure you're clued up on the best pubs in Edinburgh to watch the action unfold.
Drinking inside will be well underway again by then, but that said, there's nothing more fun than watching the game in an atmospheric outdoor area.
And, if you're doing it right, the beer jacket should keep you warm enough anyway.
Here's a selection of pubs that are perfect for watching the Euros - bonus points if you can get to all five of them during the weekend.

Perhaps the obvious first choice for fine weather, the Pear Tree offers an enormous courtyard with one of the biggest screens in Edinburgh for your viewing pleasure.

And if it's raining, don't worry - there's plenty of screens inside.

The Irish Bar with a Scottish Soul, McSorley's is a converted church in the middle of Old Town.
It's often packed to the brim on match days, offering a fun and celebratory atmosphere, with everyone getting involved in the game.
The obvious pint here is a Guinness, but there's also great selection of Irish whiskeys.

If you're after something a bit more civilised, look no further than the Ghillie Dhu.
They're taking booth bookings in the main bar from the 7 June so you can enjoy a fine selection of beers and whiskys with your pals over the Euro weekend.
Chilled out, spacious, and with a superb food menu, why not make a lazy Sunday afternoon of it all here?
