“A Scot of poetic temperament, and without religious exultation, drops as if by nature into the public house; but what else is a man to do in this dog’s weather.”

The next time you ‘drop’ into a Scottish Pub, raise your glass to the Romans, they started it all. And, apart from a brief flirtation with temperance - not really in the Scot’s nature - it’s been going strong ever since.

So, if you feel you can’t enjoy a Scottish Pub without knowing its full history, choose from the right hand menu to fill up on the facts past and present. Or try the practical approach - visit your local pub and have your own historic experience.
