What did Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, Dorothy Wordsworth, James
Hogg and Robert Southey have in common? They all toured Scotland
and left accounts of their experiences in Scottish inns, ale
houses, taverns and hotels. Similarly, poets and writers from
Robert Burns and Walter Scott to Ian Rankin and Irvine Welsh have
left vivid descriptions of the pleasures and pains of Scottish
drinking places. Pubs also provided public spaces for occupational
groups to meet, for commercial transactions, for literary and
cultural activities and for everyday life and work rituals such as
births, marriages and deaths and events linked with the
agricultural year. These and other historical issues such as
temperance, together with contemporary issues, like the
liberalization of licensing laws and the changing nature of
Scottish pubs, are discussed in this fascinating book.
