There are few more pleasant ways to spend a day than taking the dog for a walk and then popping into a pub for a quick refreshment.
It’s worth keeping in mind though that not all pubs are welcoming to our four-legged friends - famously all Wetherspoons pubs are dog-free zones, so you’ll be turned away from places like the Caley Picture House if you have canine company.
Luckily plenty of places in Edinburgh realise that dogs and pubs go together like a pint and a packet of crisps.
Many have a jar of treats on the bar and bowls of cold water for thirsty pups, while some even have a doggy menu with pooch-friendly beer and ice cream.
Here are 15 of our favourites.

13. Teuchter's Landing
Located right on the waterfront in Leith, Teuchter's Landing offers both outdoor and indoor seating for you and your furry loyal companion. The beer garden is a great day to while away an hour or two on a sunny day and the food is delicious. | Google Maps

14. Greyfriars Bobby (Bobby's Bar)
It wuld be a pretty poor show if man's best friend wasn't welcome at the pub named after Edinburgh's most famous canine resident. Located right next to the statue of Bobby, the dog who stood loyally at his former master's grave (in the graveyard to the rear of the pub), Bobby's bar is wonderfully welcoming to all dogs, with a bowl of water always guaranteed. | Google Maps

15. The Dog House
Another option within a quick walkie of both the city centre and the ball-chasing haven of the Meadows, The Dog House is as canine friendly as the name would suggest. The staff will know your dog's name within a couple of visits and be welcoming them like an old friend. | Google Maps
