Harden's says
One of two Howies in Edinburgh; they are also at 10- 14 Victoria Street (carved out of the rock that the castle sits on) and in Aberdeen.
Harden's survey result
Summary
David Howie Scott’s flagship venue at the foot of Calton Hill celebrates its 30th anniversary last year as a purveyor of inexpensive Scottish classics. The odd reporter feels that it’s “nice enough, but not the stand-out it could be”, but that’s within the context of pretty solid ratings overall. There are two spinoffs in Edinburgh and one in Aberdeen.
