It goes without saying that the Pubs and Bars of Scotland are wonderful places to have fun, meet locals and learn more about this great country. But as a group we were also keen to tell you the many fascinating stories about our pubs, some you might know and others that you won’t.
The stories are varied and certainly eclectic; from Robert Burns to Irvine Welsh, The Beatles to The Killers, Roy Rogers and Trigger to Dame Helen Mirren! Whisky Galore to Harry Potter, the birth of whisky to the Stone of Destiny and just about everything else in between.
From the pub that is located in an old Drovers Inn to a former Victorian Gin Palace, we have some of the oldest, quirkiest and most iconic pubs and bars where shipbuilders, jute barons, fishermen and miners have rubbed shoulders with famous writers, politicians and entertainers.
Our pubs are steeped in tradition and in some case have been welcoming patrons for hundreds of years but they continue to be the cornerstone of our communities today and represent an experience that is truly Scottish.
Have fun discovering your favourite story.
