Blessed with a main room that once housed French cavaliers and later whisky distillers, The Caves is a cosy multi-storeyed labyrinth of subterranean arches and dimly lit avenues, lying below Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Laden with charm and rustic elegance, this underground jewel delves into more alternative and leftfield musical burrows with select signature events placing quality over quantity. Scratch Perverts, James Ruskin, Jimmy Van M and Spektrum have recently played here.

“The Caves oozes character and history at every turn,” says Hexadecimal’s Scott Reeder.
