From seaside sessions along the Firth of Forth to wood-fired saunas near Portobello, Edinburgh and the Lothians offer a mix of outdoor sauna experiences within easy reach of the city.

Some are lively and social with more of an urban buzz, while others are quieter, more tucked away or set further out in the hills. Depending on the sauna, you’ll find everything from sea swims to cold plunges.
