The property is located 3.2 km from Edinburgh Playhouse, 3.5 km from Royal Mile and 3.9 km from National Museum of Scotland.

It felt like we were stepping back in time, much like an ocean liner/ship from the past. Matt greeted us warmly upon arrival and helped us get checked in quickly. The staff in the bar were excellent as well, making us feel welcome immediately. It was a great experience and we hope to return someday to enjoy a longer stay.

It was perfect for self-catering, however, there are so many shops and pubs just outside that you’ll easily sth. delicious within a few minutes walk.

Welcome to The Scott, where history intertwines with luxury in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside. Named after Alexander Scott, the esteemed original owner of the magnificent baronial house erected in the 1750s, our hotel echoes history combined with the elegance of today. truly enjoyed my stay at The Scott. The property is beautifully designed in an elegant Scottish style that makes you feel like you’re staying in a small castle — a perfect blend of charm and understated luxury. The staff were exceptionally polite and attentive, always ready to help with any questions or requests. Although the room was not very large, it was thoughtfully furnished, cozy, and had everything we needed. I particularly appreciated the small touches — like the daily treats, cookies, and coffee provided in the room. These little details made the whole experience feel extra special and warm. I would also like to highlight the breakfast — the atmosphere was simply wonderful. The dining room was stunning, the service excellent, and the food both delicious and beautifully presented. There was a nice selection to choose from, and it truly felt like a luxurious start to the day — the perfect way to begin exploring Edinburgh.
