Other than the five minutes of a scorcher of a summer we had last year, it’s safe to say us Scots aren’t the luckiest when it comes to the weather.
So when the sun is out, we are as well, making the most of every second we can get (#tapsaff) because who knows how long it'll last for? A hot day in Edinburgh calls for one thing - a cold brew in a sunny beer garden .
And in new data from Liberty Games it would appear you're in one of the best places you can be for an outdoor pint. The company analysed the hashtags #beergarden and #pubgarden on Instagram to reveal which cities from last summer used them the most.
From Instagrammable fairy lights to upcycled furniture, beer gardens are on the rise on social media photo-sharing platforms, as more and more people want to share their beer garden experience with the rest of the world.
Thirteen of the very best beer gardens in Edinburgh
Edinburgh came in at 3rd position as a great location to drink in a pub's garden - coming second only to London (unsurprising as one of the country's hottest cities) and buzzing cultural-hub Manchester.
1 in 20 images with #beergardenor #pubgarden were taken in Edinburgh - showing that quite literally nothing will stop us from enjoying a beverage outside.
Take a look at Liberty Games' interactive map to discover which city comes out on top as the most popular UK city for beer gardens last summer.
