#COLONNADES#OUTLANDERLOCATIONS Come and join me for the best afternoon tea in Edinburgh. The Colonnades at the Signet Library afternoon tea is the finest in the city set in a stunning Georgian building on Parliament Square.
The Signet Library is home to the Writers of the Signet. The Signet used to be the royal seal of Scottish kings and queens and only the members of the WS society were permitted to use it. Today, you can enjoy a luxury experience in the Signet Library Colonnades restaurant.
George IV on his visit to Scotland described the upper library in here as "the finest drawing room in Europe".
It's also a must visit for Outlander fans! Did you know that Outlander was shot here? The Signet Library was used to film the interiors of the Governor's mansion in Jamaica in series 3!
Come and join me on a tour and have a peek inside.
An afternoon tea at the Colonnades in the Signet Library is a must-visit while in Edinburgh.
This exquisite Georgian building is home to the writers of the Signet,
one of the oldest professional bodies in the world.
The Signet used to be the royal seal of Scottish kings and queens,
and the writers of the Signet were the only ones authorised to use it.
Today, the library is a resource and network for law firms and solicitors who are members of the society.
The Colonnades is a restaurant in the lower library where you can treat yourself to the finest afternoon tea in the city.
You'll receive not one, but two tiers of savoury and sweet treats.
Sip on loose leaf tea and be surrounded by some of the oldest literature in the library.
The Colonnades is also a must-visit for Outlander fans,
as this is where they shot the interiors of the Governor's Mansion in Jamaica.
In Series 3, this gorgeous room was transformed into a colonial ballroom,
full of the aristocracy, powdered wigs and lashings of ginger ale as champagne.
The upper library was built just in time for George IV's famous visit to Edinburgh in 1822.
He described it as one of the finest drawing rooms in all of Europe.
An afternoon tea at the Colonnades is the best in Edinburgh,
so make sure you add it to your Outlander bucket list.
