The humble burger has been rescued from the clutches of fast food conglomerates and greasy roadside venders in recent years, with gourmet beef patties and assorted toppings now the order of the day. From the best Edinburgh restaurants to pubs, steak restaurants and various other havens for meat-eaters, everyone's getting in on the burger act. Here's where to get the best meaty fixes – in brioche buns, with homemade slaw, natch – in Scotland's capital.
