Unusual Venues of Edinburgh The Rowantree
Unusual Venues of Edinburgh are a collection of unique and multi award-winning collection of three different venues; The Caves, The Rowantree and Marlin’s Wynd
These exciting and impressive sites are located on a World Heritage Site in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town only a stone’s throw from the famous Royal Mile.
Once used as a storage and workshop space in 1788, was later turned into the renowned red light district of Edinburgh. Eventually the vaults were filled in with rubble and lay forgotten until former Scottish Rugby Internationalist and owner of the venues discovered and excavated these vaults in the mid 90’s.
