Around 220,000 Taylor Swift fans from all over the world will be beating a path to Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium this weekend.
The pop star is playing three concerts in the Scottish capital as part of her record-breaking Eras tour, with tickets snapped up in minutes last year.
Doors for the gigs open at 4pm (or 3pm for VIP ticket holders) meaning that Swifties will have plenty of time to enjoy a couple of drinks or a pub lunch before heading to bag a spot to see support band Paramore - before Swift takes to the stage for a set expected to last around three-and-a-half hours.
If you’re wanting to break the back of the journey before settling down for a pint there are plenty of pubs close to the stadium - taking between eight and 25 minutes to walk to.
Here are the 10 closest.
5. Jessie Mays Bar & Kitchen
Staying to the south, Gorgie Road provides several good options, including Jessie Mays Bar & Kitchen. It's a straightforward pub and if you're peckish you can pick up locally-sourced Scottish fare or one of their popular pizzas (the vegetarian pizza is a particular favourite with regulars). Expect to take about 13 minutes to get to Murrayfield. | Google Maps
6. Stratfords
Juat to the east of Jessie Mays on Gorgie Road, and also about 13 minutes walk from Murrayfield, is another local - Stratfords Bar. A pint costs less than a fiver - a rarity in Edinburgh. | Google Maps
7. The Tynecastle Arms
Named due to its proximity to the Hearts football stadium, the Tynecastle Arms is a popular choice for supporters of the Edinburgh Club on a matchday. Another pub located on Gorgie Road, it's also only a 19 minute walk to Murrayfield. It's the very definition of a traditional Edinburgh pub, but is welcoming to all - football fans or not, locals or visitors. | Google Maps
8. Luckies
Most people approach Murrayfield by foot from the east, so going slightly further west can mean finding less packed pubs. Luckies is still only around 20 minutes from the stadium, again on Gorgie Road, and features a family-friendly beer garden if you have youngsters with you. | Google Maps
