The Royal Oak, Folk music pub in Edinburgh, Scotland
The Royal Oak features wooden interiors, small tables, and a central bar counter where performers set up their instruments for evening concerts.
Through several decades of operation, The Royal Oak has remained at its original location, maintaining its position as a cornerstone of Edinburgh's music scene.
