Historic Pub Crawls Through Scotland

Step into Scotlands past, one pub at a time, with Historic Pub Crawls Through Scotland.

What started as a birthday pub crawl across Londons historic alehouses quickly turned into something much bigger. Author and pub enthusiast Thomas J. Vosper turned his routes into Historic Pub Crawls Through London I and II. The books took off, leading to popular editions covering England, Ireland and New York - and now, Scotland.

This book brings together 11 guided walking routes through some of Scotlands most atmospheric cities, including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. Each walk strings together a carefully chosen selection of historic pubs, weaving past famous landmarks and hidden corners, and sharing stories that are sometimes fascinating, sometimes irreverent, and always entertaining.

Whether youre into a well-kept ale, a dram of Scotch, or simply enjoy soaking up the history that gathers around Scotlands drinking holes, these crawls are designed to be enjoyed at your own pace. Every route starts and finishes near a main train station, with clear directions and full pub details included to keep things simple.

Perfect for visitors, locals and anyone who enjoys a good pint, Historic Pub Crawls Through Scotland invites you to discover Scotland through its pubs, past and present.
