The Tass
The Tass

The Tass lies on the High Street section of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, opposite the equally well known World's End.

The Tass is named after one of Robert Burns' songs, The Silver Tassle and the Tass seeks to remember Scotland's greatest bard with a range of memorabilia relating to him. Don't worry, though, this isn't overdone and it would be quite possible to enjoy the ambiance without realising that this was the theme.

Much more obvious is the Tass's role as a focus for traditional and folk music in the area, with live performances taking place most evenings.
