For over 30 years, Edinburgh's Royal Oak has been a bastion for Scottish folk musicians and is renowned for its service to traditional music.

The sheer quantity of artists who have played or cut their musical teeth at No 1 Infirmary Street has earned it the affectionate handle of the Grand Ole' Opry Of Folk - from the likes of Bobby Eaglesham and Danny Kyle to Kris Drever and Karine Polwart.
