Things to do in Edinburgh
Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre - This unique interactive visitor attraction Edinburgh, allows you to experience the sights, sounds and smells of whisky, and the opportunity to discover how scotch whisky is made.
The Jam House (5 Queen Street) has an intimate atmosphere for a live music venue favouring the 'unplugged' feel with more contact between artists and members of the public. There are no futuristic, technological lighting effects, just simple theatrical style focused on the artist and providing a live entertainment experience.
This theatrical element is enhanced by the fact that the venue's stage area inside the former BBC Broadcasting House was once where live performances were broadcast and recorded.
Former smaller recording studios have been opened up to become bars and lounge areas, further using the space to fully encourage customers to appreciate the historical musicality of the venue.
An a la carte dining experience allows customers to enjoy a blend of flavours from around the world and an inspired wine list enhances the choice and quality.
The Jam House is open seven nights a week from 5pm until 3am.
