Edinburgh city is located on the Southern shore of the Firth of Forth with an historic central area, the unique feature of the mini-mountain of Arthur's seat in the middle and then some of the more disasterous post-war house estates in the suburbs. Although the centre of Edinburgh is only a mile and a half from the shore-line, it is the dramatic atmosphere of the Castle that dominates the city rather than the influence of the sea although the suburb of Leith is recommended for its bohemian mix of independent restaurants and pleasant dock-side areas.
The term simply implies that the establishment has a bar, usually open to non-residents as well. In remote locations especially there are plenty of Inns and Public Houses that have rooms available. Indeed they may be the only options for food and drink for miles around and can have very nice accommodation available. The only down-side to staying in an Inn or Pub is that you may not have complete quiet until after midnight and the bar has closed. Learn more about accommodation types
