Edinburgh - Stag

[The Real Laoislad]

Have stayed in the Three Sisters a couple of times on rugby weekends. Good joint, especially for watching sport. Was seeing 33 sisters by the Sunday morn.

Christ had their parents never heard of contraception?

ziggy
stayed in that point hotel last monday and tuesday and thought it was an excellent place, £70 per room per night
but that sort is place is only ok for bringing the wife and daughter as i did

for my stag, we stayed in a youth hostel. not the ritz but over a weekend your in it for about 8 - 10 hours so its perfect

most of the time was spent in the westerner. best spot on earth. on the sunday before we went home, we were on first name terms with the "staff"
was the last day of the 6 nations 2 years ago when ireland beat england. the craic in biddy mulligans was 90

Speaking as a Christian, I found Edinburgh to be inappropriate for a stag night. There were eight of us over last month for Geoff's pre-nuptials and we stayed in the Bible College in near Haymarket Station. The accomodation was fine and the breakfast was okay. We went out on the Saturday afternoon for a bit of a laugh and handed out some leaflets on Prince's Street while Dean did some street preaching. Later, we went out for a meal at a French place and I had to complain as the food contained garlic. I was sickened and went back to the hotel to pray to Jesus Christ my saviour. The next day we had some photographs taken outside John Knox's house and then we went to to the Hibernian game. Of course we didn't go into the ground but tried to let the soap-dodging Hibs fans know that they were loved by Jesus also, despite being heretics. To me, as a Christian, Edinburgh has lost the Lord. Too many pubs and immigrants. Every shop is owned by Indians. Thankfully in the Province we don't have that problem, yet! I mean these Poles - they are RCs - and it's another conspiracy by the Roman church. Now I am not a bigot - some of my best friends are Fenians -but Edinburgh is overrun by them, and Indians, and Poles. Better off in Portrush if you ask me. But I will say this about Edinburgh - the bl**j*bs are cheap and reasonable.

Was over last year for a stag.... good spot!! we stayed in apartments at the very top of the grassmarket area over-looking the whole lot!!! They were excellent and i'd highly recommend them (although i didnt book so dont have any contact details) make as much noise & mess as you want and there is no-one there to bother you....
Pubic-triangle was a dirty kip though....

Edinburgh is class. I had my stag there and another member of this board who was in attendance managed to get a tackle off a woman about 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Finnegan's Wake. The same fella also had his trousers unbuckled whilst dancing on the dancefloor with some hallion later that night in a place called Subway I think. I don't know what she was doing to him but I don't think she was taking his pulse... It's that sort of place!

Three Sisters was the main port of call though - reminded me a bit of The Bot in Belfast and is where all the stags and hens end up at some stage over the weekend.

Had my own stag there and been to a couple of others too.  We actually stayed in Edinburgh University for mine, although in May time it would hardly be available.  On another we stayed in Jurys, it was dead on and convenient to everywhere.  Cant remember a lot the places we were apart from the 3 sisters (didn't even knnow u could stay there), and it must have been Finnegan's wake - we were there for the AI QF's in 2001 - Maurice Fitz put over the sideline ball just as the first man hit the deck .  Go classier than the pubic triangle.

It sounds like the ticket !!!

To my knowledge, yes. You're best to check their website out though, which I linked earlier.

not a patch on the westerner

Well Lads - just back from the stag in Edinburgh !

Only sobered up there tonight !

The three sisters and Espionage were the main spots - stayed in Cowgate Hostel (15 Quid a Nite) had our own apartment - bit dated but it did the trick and it's right beside the Three Sisters.

Lived on battered burgers and chicken burgers all weekend - everything is battered.

Espionage - free in -  lethal.

The Burke and Hair was hit - what a spot ! Unbelieveable !

Saturday nite is a blur - reverted back to the good aul days - a bottle of buckfast was downed

The detox starts now ...

Thanks for all tips and recommendations !

That brings me back! We were there for New Years four or five years ago and our group were fascinated by the fact ya could buy a shoulder of Buckfast! We all ended up drinking two each even though buying the normal bottle would have been cheaper, just had to have the shoulder for the sheer hillarity of it! Happy days, some town!
