The Parliament Arms is a warm, welcoming Scottish pub and kitchen set on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, right in the heart of the Old Town. Dogs welcome inside, so there's no need to leave your companion tied outside while you enjoy a pint and some food. This is a proper locals' haunt with genuine appeal for visitors who want to soak up the atmosphere of one of Scotland's most famous streets.

The menu and full bar make this a solid stop during a day of sightseeing and the late hours mean you can slip in for an evening out without the usual time pressure. It's busy and lively—the kind of place that works well for groups and for solo travellers seeking a bit of company.

Best reached on foot through the city centre, it's an easy drop-in during a walk around the Old Town. Parking is limited in this area, so heading there on foot or by bus makes sense if you're travelling with a dog.
