My Scotland: Disco-inspired cocktails, luxurious afternoon teas and paint parties with Rebecca Gay

If you are looking for inspiration for a date night or fun afternoon with friends, you have come to the right place.

Rebecca Gay is based in Edinburgh and shares the best food and experiences in the city and beyond.

We asked Rebecca for her top three picks from recent exploring so you can get your next day out planned.

Fairmont St Andrews Afternoon Tea

The ultimate decadent afternoon tea. Be prepared to be treated to a selection of savoury delights, tasty sandwiches, delicate sweet treats and some seriously delicious scones (with jam, cream and lemon curd of course!).

What’s even better is that you receive a top up of the sandwiches during your savoury course, so there’s no fear of leaving hungry. Your afternoon tea is also accompanied by an extensive tea trolley, offering ample opportunity to sample a variety of teas.

Splatter Art Studio

Get messy and creative at Splatter Art Studio in Edinburgh. Situated in Leith, get ready to unleash your inner creative creature splattering paint, popping paint balloons and firing paint guns.

Splatter Art Studio runs a variety of family friendly, date night and adult-only sessions to cater to all creative needs. My personal favourite is the newly launched adults-only UV glow in the dark paint events.

House of Gods Hotel

There are lots of fun cocktails to choose from.

If you’re on the hunt for your next date night spot or some indulgent cocktails with your friends, then House of Gods is the place for you.

Nestled in Cowgate, under the gaze of the giant disco ball, this sultry speakeasy is serving up theatrical and flavourful cocktails Their new cocktail menu The Guestlist pays homage to disco, late nights spots and musical icons.
