Edinburgh At Christmas! The city is in ScotGov Tier 3 restrictions until 11th December which means that while most places are open you will find tight restrictions when you visit restaurants and bars. No alcoholic drinks are allowed and hospitality outlets must close by 6pm. But the sights and views remain the same! So for now if you can't visit in person then dream about visiting when things get better and use this guide to check out and support the many great businesses in the city that you can still visit online or take away from. We will update the guide again on or about the 11th Dec once we know the news about what restriction level will apply after that date.
