Gay Guide to Edinburgh
Edinburgh's gay scene clusters in the Pink Triangle, the Broughton Street area of the New Town, one of the largest gay scenes in Scotland. CC Blooms, open since 1991, is the beloved anchor, with drag and karaoke at Planet and club nights at The Street on Picardy Place. Edinburgh Pride marches from the Scottish Parliament in June. Scotland's capital pairs its castle, Old Town, and world-famous August festivals with a compact, walkable scene that swells when the city fills with visitors.
