Beneath the cobbled streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town, nestled in the underground vaults of the South Bridge, lies The Rowantree; a breathtaking exclusive-use venue, unlike any other. Each room in this UNESCO World Heritage Site has a coveted place in Scottish history. This was the spiritual home of The Oyster Club of the Scottish Enlightenment, frequented by David Hume, Robert Burns and Benjamin Franklin; it was the rumoured hunting ground of the notorious Burke and Hare; and played host to various illegal whisky distilleries. Lost for more than 100 years, The Rowantree's vaults were rediscovered and magnificently restored; a seamless blend of original craftsmanship and modern facilities, including our own in-house catering facilities, and limited disabled access. Our venue is ideal for weddings, parties – both formal and informal – music events, private dining functions, and many more bespoke events.
