The original Gilded Balloon, which dates back to 1986, was in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh. Sadly, in 2002 a fire completely gutted the venue, so its base moved to Teviot, on Bristo Square. This year it is running four venues.

Venue 14 – Gilded Balloon Teviot
Venue 24 – Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose
Venue 64 – Gilded Balloon at the Museum
Venue 582 – Gilded Balloon at the Pitt
