Why choose Edinburgh for your stag do?
From the world-famous Edinburgh Festival to top-class restaurants and bars, not to mention quirky and traditional pubs, stag parties will be spoilt for choice in the Scottish capital. If you have never visited Edinburgh then it’s perfect for the well-heeled stag weekend away.
Every group that travels to Edinburgh has to visit the Royal Castle which dominates the city skyline. The building dates back to the 12th century and still to this day houses the Scottish Crown Jewels! Speaking of Scottish jewels… The traditional kilt is now regarded as formal wear and only tends to make an appearance at special events rather than everyday wear. They do make a great addition to stag photos though.
If you are really wanting to embrace the Scottish culture you can now compete in (the unofficial) Highland Games! See who’s the best at hurling haggis, wangling wellies and test the strength of your stags in a good ol’ fashioned tug o’ war.
Once you’re done exploring the city and hurling Scottish delicacies you will need to party like a local. Edinburgh has plenty of choice when it comes to nightlife, whether you are after a traditional boozer or a lively nightclub, there are heaps of venues all over the city. We highly recommend pre-booking on Fridays & Saturdays though as most venues won’t allow unexpected stag parties! You can purchase our party pass & queue jump for access to a number of top bars and clubs.
