Edinburgh bar named one of the most 'instagrammable' in the UK

Edinburgh's bars have been crowned the most 'Instagrammable' in the UK, according to a new study.

The capital edged out Leeds for first, while Glasgow placed ninth.

For their study, Uswitch took the populations of UK cities and divided them by the number of Instagram posts about its bars to find each region's 'hashtags per capita'.

After crunching the numbers, the Scottish capital came out on top.

In the report, Uswitch stated: "With its quaint cobbled streets and winding roads, the Scottish capital is home to a number of ‘Insta-worthy’ bars including Tigerlily, Brewhemia and The Cold Townhouse."

As reported by the Liverpool ECHO, Uswitch also investigated the most popular individual bars in the UK, looking at factors such as the number of positive reviews on TripAdvisor, the number of followers on Instagram and the number of hashtags on Instagram.

Edinburgh's Tigerlily placed sixth in the UK, ahead of cocktail spots in cities such as Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff but behind Glasgow's The Ubiquitous Chip.

The report read: "The restaurant is known for its beautiful hanging flower displays that feature throughout the venue and is the go-to place for the best food and drink in the city.

"If you are looking for the right spot to snap that all-important Instagram picture while visiting the restaurant, then why not take a seat at its newest addition - the Tanqueray Wall.

"The wall has an arch of cascading flowers and a bench for you and your friends to sit on making it very ‘Insta’ friendly."
