Ice cream parlour

The long trading history of Gladstone’s Land continues to this day with our brand new ice cream parlour and coffee shop on the ground floor.

This has been inspired by the refreshment rooms and ice cream shops that were prevalent on the Lawnmarket in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the public houses and dairies that operated out of the property. Steeped in history, the ice cream parlour is the perfect place for you to relax after a visit to the house, catch up with friends or pop in for an afternoon treat.

Serving a wide range of Equi’s ice cream flavours, sundaes, delicious cakes and hot drinks, you can either sit in or take out.

Vegan and gluten-free options are available.
