A "trendy" pub in Scotland has been featured on a list of the "most beautiful" UK beer gardens with a view.

Introducing the list, which features stunning bars in places like Cornwall and Brighton, Time Out said: "A beer garden and a great view – it’s a simple combo, but it’s a glorious one.

"Perched before a blissful vista, cold pint in hand and (hopefully) soaking in some sweet, sweet rays... there are very few places we’d rather be. And now Spring has finally sprung, it’s the ideal time to throw yourself back into outdoor boozing.

"The UK has tons of fabulous pubs, so it makes complete sense that plenty of ‘em come with astounding views.

"If you’d never realised that pebble beaches, grassy plains, city skylines, vast rivers and much more could all be enjoyed from the comfort of a boozer, you’re in for a heck of a ride."

Scottish beer garden named one of the 'most beautiful' with a view in the UK

The Scottish pub said to have one of the "most beautiful" beer gardens with a view in the UK was the Cold Town House in the heart of Edinburgh.

Discussing the bar, which is perched beneath the city's iconic castle, Time Out said: "Serving up stone-baked pizzas and beers brewed in-house, this trendy boozer in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket offers arguably the best views you’ll find of Edinburgh Castle.

"The historic fortress looms right over its picturesque après ski-themed terrace, which is also covered in pretty wisteria buds in early summer."

This was the only Scottish pub featured on the list with the other entries being located in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
