One of the city’s oldest pubs, the White Horse dates back to 1742 and is on the Canongate section of the Royal Mile, at the head of a close said to have been named after Mary Queen of Scots’ favourite horse.
The White Horse was the scene of the “Stoppit Stravaig” in 1639 when a group of Scottish noblemen gathered at the coaching inn before setting off to negotiate with King Charles I only to b confronted by a mob of angry townsfolk who prevented them from leaving.
