Stag and hen ideas in Edinburgh
You are organising a weekend for a group that will otherwise scatter across bars by nine o'clock, and you want one shared thing at the centre of it that everyone remembers.
Why Edinburgh works for this
Edinburgh is a top stag and hen city and the Grassmarket is a hundred metres from the closes, so the mission ends exactly where the group wants to be.
How the evening runs
Late afternoon through the closes, finishing in the Grassmarket.
Routes here run through the Royal Mile closes, the Grassmarket and the New Town crescents. Hosting is available in English.
