A simply stunning building that was the perfect setting for the recent Cocktails in the City event that visited Edinburgh.\n\nFor that event, about 12 of Edinburgh's best bars had their own mini-bars to shake up some amazing cocktails. There was music, there was purple mood-lighting, there was a good crowd and ample space. It was warm, it was atmospheric, and even though it was busy and it has hugely tall ceilings (it is a converted church) the acoustics were good. So for evening, drink-events it was a wonderful venue and I couldn't have chosen better myself.\n\nThe building itself, for what it is, is glorious. Amazing colourful paintings on the ceiling mean it still holds some of its original splendour and reminds you of what it used to be. I always feel a bit odd drinking in a converted Church, I can't shake that off, but the apart from the ceiling and grand stone walls, you could make the Mansfield Traquair into whatever you need it to be for an event.
