Founded in 1919 as a tribute to those who fell in The Great War, and situated in one of Edinburgh’s finest Georgian streets, The Royal Scots Club offers that rare combination; the charm of a country house hotel with a cosy club atmosphere.

More personal than a hotel, this is the perfect home from home to relish the culture and character of Scotland’s capital city. We are open for bed and breakfast, meetings and events, functions and private dining, and offer excellent cuisine in our Dining Room. The privileges of membership include preferential rates for all of our services and facilities, a busy social programme and access to a worldwide network of reciprocal clubs.
