The Scott Hotel

With a restaurant and room for the dog.

Book on their website
Welcome

The Scott is a hotel on the Pollock Estate, on the quieter edge of Edinburgh where Holyrood Park begins, with the climb to Arthur’s Seat on the doorstep.

The house was built in the 1750s for the merchant Alexander Scott and was enlarged in the 19th century by the publisher William Nelson, with the architect John Lessels, giving it the baronial character it has today. The estate was gifted to the University of Edinburgh in the 1940s by Donald Pollock, and was a student residence for decades before it was restored as a hotel.

Each room is individually designed, from the Petite Double to the Signature Double, and The Gatehouse is a restored private residence beside the hotel, with its own front door, kitchen, lounge and king-size bedroom. Bonnar’s, the restaurant, serves dinner from Tuesday to Saturday beneath an 18th-century ceiling fresco by Thomas Bonnar, and breakfast every morning. The Gallery Bar pours wines, whiskies and cocktails. Dogs are welcome in the ground-floor rooms, parking is free, subject to availability, and The Scott has been selected for the MICHELIN Guide 2026.

Edinburgh looks different from here.

Hidden Scotland, the magazine

Scotland, in print.

We want to show you the best that Scotland has to offer. The makers and the creatives, the enduring experiences, the evocative tales, the concealed corners. The roads less travelled that take you to places that matter. The adventures that gather you up and sweep you away. The blend of the wild and the artistic that makes Scotland what it is. We’d love for you to join us.
