Edinburgh's Local Pubs - Private Beer and Whisky Tour

"The landlady and Tam grew gracious, Wi' secret favours, sweet, and precious:, The souter tauld his queerest stories; The landlord's laugh was ready chorus:" For centuries the Public House has been central to life in Scotland, a place where people would gather to celebrate and commiserate, to share stories, ideas and camaraderie. Join me as I introduce you to a selection of authentic, traditional pubs that have stood the test of time, each with its own unique charm and character. Sip on a pint of local craft beer or a dram of fine Scotch whisky as you hear about Edinburgh's long history as a centre of brewing excellence and learn about the traditional methods that have shaped Scotland's renowned beer and whisky industries. Soak in the cosy atmosphere as you discover the role of pubs as meeting places for intellectuals, artists and revolutionaries, and hear fascinating stories of smugglers, excise men and prohibitionists. Slàinte to an evening of storytelling, conviviality and the spirit of Scotland!
