Description
Description
The Caves is our larger venue with vaults that make up Edinburgh's South Bridge. There is no venue more Edinburgh than the Caves,or more Scottish either if you consider there was once so much Whisky stored here that it became known as “Whisky Row”. Every room has a story to tell and a special place in Scottish history -from vaults that served as the stables to the French Cavalry who were at one time body guards to the Royal Family, to remains of the houses that pre-date the Bridge itself – with the original terracotta floor tiles still intact! This amazing and fantastically unique venue will wow your guests. It's romantic and offers your guests a fantastic experience from start to finish!
