A small detail with a big history.

The revolving doors at The Guildford Arms have welcomed generations of locals, visitors and b**r lovers through our doors since the pub’s Victorian-era redesign in 1896.

Set beneath the ornate entrance and original frosted glass frontage, they remain one of the many features that make The Guildford Arms a true Edinburgh institution.

Step inside and experience a piece of the city’s pub heritage.
