North Scotland must be where people go to sober up.
I for certain of 5 pubs that exist but are not on that map.

I think you a word.
I think they even a verb
Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.
There’s seems to be a mistake: The northern portion of Éire, also known as Ireland, is erroneously included in this chart of UK pubs. Please fix this.
Did you mean Éire?
Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed. Fixed it.
👍
Ireland is not a lake. Please fix this
The Isle of Skye is bleak.
Several hotel bars on Skye are effectively pubs.
That’s a relief!
This is missing a few, there’s more than that in the rural regions of Scotland.
Yeah, this map comes up on the Web periodically and we Scots point out that it’s lacking (a lot) in Scotland.
Bleeding English erasing Scottish pub culture smh /s
You’re missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.
Well done lads.
damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.
It’ll be interesting to remove the Red Lion and see the difference
I looked it up and thought it was a franchise at first, just very creative and varied about it. Some of them looked really nice, too.
Long long ago, pubs didn’t have names but they just had signs. People would call the pub whatever was on the sign. “The King’s Head” for pubs with a portrait of a king, “The Wheat Sheaf” for ones with a picture of some wheat or barley, etc.
Lots of old pubs displayed the Stuart coat of arms as a show of loyalty to King James I/VI and his heirs, which is a heraldic red lion. Hence why so many pubs have the same name even though they’re all ancient and unrelated.
Very interesting to know!
I recently visited one in Belfast.
Road trip?
Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.
Meh, I reckon I could have a Guinness in each one before closing time.
How many of them are called The Winchester?
I don’t know, but that’s where I would go both to wait out the apocalypse and for a date.
2, if this is to be believed
Edit, and then 3 or 4 if THIS is to believed (and those other two appear to have moved from Burnley to Liverpool, and Islington to Highgate)
Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.
The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.
well, why don’t the sheep have pubs?
Those are called shrubs, and there are lots of them.
The sheep were tired of getting fleeced…
I think they’d say the same.
Underrated comment right here
Scotland is way less densely populated than England
I think it’s mountains?
That doesn’t normally stop us, but barely anyone lives in the highlands.
Nope, incomplete. Here’s one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that’s left bare (Skye).
I’m curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day’s walk from a pub.
The Shetlands and Orkneys are also missing entirely. So there’s a few more for sure.
Mildly appropriate username. Clearly, they cropped it out because you’ve taken it for the king of Norway.
Shetland and Orkney. Nobody who lives there says Shetlands or Orkneys. But yes there are a few for sure but not all of the islands have one.
They’ve chopped off most of Caithness too. Thurso has pubs AND a distillery. John o’ Groats has a distillery too, AND a brewery.
Freedom and whisky gang thegither, Tak aff your dram!
Looks more like a bar. Never says pub that I saw.
Skye is beautiful though. Worth the ferry if you’re in the area.
There are several pubs in Skye, I visited a few last year.
Could you explain to my Canadian ass what the difference is? Haha. The only thing it seems to mean here is that they try to be classier and serve full entrees.
An inn is basically a pub with rooms you can stay in. Not quite sure what makes a place a bar rather than a pub in the UK, but generally a pub was built as one and a bar is in a generic retail/restaurant space.
Skye is actually close enough that you can drive over there by bridge
I prefer driving by car.
How big is the bridge?
Less than a kilometre long
Yep, that’s hardly an island, haha!
