About

The Canons’ Gait is a laid-back Royal Mile pub with a Scottish menu, a broad whisky and beer selection, and vegan fish and chips that reviewers repeatedly praise. The clearly marked vegan choices include a vegan burger and sticky toffee pudding, though one diner reported their preferred vegan dishes had run out; live Scottish folk music and fiddles add to some visits.
