have been. Cannot mind the name of a single bar we were in right enough. All where based around the big square, which is class. Beautiful city. The special clubs a la Prague are not centrally based, a taxi ride away. Complete rip off as well, the taxis and the clubs. If on a stag, heed this warning....there is pretty much zero tolerance for folk being too drunk in public, falling asleep on the street with too much of the good stuff on board. You'll be scooped up and thrown into the drunk tank based aoutta town and not let out til the following night (£50 lighter). We had a chap lifted who couldnt find the appartment and put the head down in a doorway.
We booked a 'special' evening meal which was some craic. Could hoke out the details if needed ;-)

All in all, a class, beautiful city with superb beers and a bountiful of ladies who are tres easy on the eyes

Don't like the sound of that drunk tank.

Think we have a special boat trip booked, should be good. Going to the rifle range one of the days as well. Apart from that I am not sure.

Lads, Looking for ideas for my stag at the start of December. Ideas of where to go at that time of year etc?

Had looked at Edinburgh, whats it like for stags etc? Where would you recommend to stay?
Is there anywhere in Europe that would be good at that time of the year? IE not too cold?

Edinburgh is great. Few years since I've been but we stayed(about 12 lads) in Jury's Inn. It was OK, nothing fancy but done the job.
Some great bars in Edinburgh. We managed to get tickets for Hearts v Hibs which was on same weekend.

I have been to a good few stags in Edinburgh and its a great spot. Probably more so for boozing during the day rather than the clubs as there are loads of good bars that are usually lively at the weekend, especial;ly with any sport on. The clubs tend to be a bit more choosy about who they let in late at night though.

Bars would be more my line of thinking now anyway rather than nightclubs.

Any other recommendations of where to stay? Was it expensive?

Loads of bars and late pubs that you can get round - Grassmarket area during the day.

We stayed in Jurys and it was 100%, just don't drink in the bar, its pricey like all hotel bars. Also stayed in Thistle Hotel up top of Princces street. Not as lively crowd as Jurys would have ie fellow stag parties. More tourists, americans, bus tours etc. But a lovely hotel and lovely setting.

In the thistle, was no residents bar by time we landed back but they'd do room service. About 6 of us, headed to one of the rooms and ordered, drink came no problem. Having a craic nothing too bad (In jurys I remember it was like open house between rooms and parties), 10 minutes later phone rang from front desk asking to keep it down. We rang back and ordered another drink thinking we'd be told to do one. No problem drink came, ten minutes later front desk rang, keep it down. Chanced another drink, no problem. This went on for about two hours till we all just hit the bed. Nothing said the next day either.

We stayed int he Grassmarket hotel last year.  Prices were reasonable and they served the breakfast in the adjoining bar the next morning so it was a good way to start the day off

Anything jingle jangle?

Had my own stag in Edinburgh a dozen years ago. Great spot then and would assume the same now. A trip to the triangle not the worst way to while away a few hours.
