Edinburgh has some great parks, but overall we were really disappointed by how unfriendly it was to dogs. Everywhere we look shops are selling Scotty dog souvenirs, but try taking a dog into a pub and see how far you get.
I walked into one bar just to quickly meet up with a few friends and was instantly forced out. I can understand restaurants (sort of) but it was very difficult to find a dog-friendly pub. I practically begged to let him stay in a pub for the Greece-Germany football match (his name is Fritz, after all) and finally won over the manager.
I am sure that if one researchers Edinburgh properly, there are dog-friendly places, but from what I could tell it was the worst of British culture: an unrelenting subservience to the rules without any room for discretion. I saw some appalling behaviour from drunken Scots on a Friday night, so I'm not sure why a 3kg dog in a bag is a problem.
Anyhow, we still managed to make friends and see some nice bits of the city. And Hotel Missoni was amazing.
