There are few more pleasant ways to spend a day than taking the dog for a walk and then popping into a pub for a quick refreshment.
It’s worth keeping in mind though that not all pubs are welcoming to our four-legged friends - famously all Wetherspoons pubs are dog-free zones, so you’ll be turned away from places like the Caley Picture House if you have canine company.
Luckily plenty of places in Edinburgh realise that dogs and pubs go together like a pint and a packet of crisps.
Many have a jar of treats on the bar and bowls of cold water for thirsty pups, while some even have a doggy menu with pooch-friendly beer and ice cream.
Here are 15 of our favourites.
