Most Scottish Breakfast in Edinburgh

If you are in Edinburgh and want to have a Scottish Breakfast, I can advise you the Maggie Dickson Pub, as this is a very traditional Pub that honors one of the most famous and popular residents in Edinburgh - surprise surprise- Maggie Dickson. Her story is as scandalous as funny. Maggie Dickson should be executed on the Haymarket some hundred years ago, because she got pregnant from a guy who was not her husband. People in Edinburgh loved executions, so everybody was on the Haymarket observing this event. Maggie was hanged. But on the way to the graveyard, the cabman riding the carriage heard some knocking... He opened the coffin and there Maggie was, saying Hi and being obviously not as dead as assumed. So, the cabman turned and went back to the Haymarket, excited to promote the news that now the people of Edinburgh can see a second execution! But, in the crowd there was a lawyer, telling the people that Maggie Dickson was condemned to death, but she was already declared as dead, so it is not right to execute her a second time. Lucky Maggie! From this day on, Maggie Dickson was famous, as she already received the highest punishment, she could do all the crimes and nobody would stop her. She went everyday on the market and didn't pay for anything she took. Nice story? xx heidi

Paisley, De Beers

Haiii...

I was checking out the blog, not many posts about Paisley húh! Weird, as we spend most of the time here "studying" *LOL ;)

One of the pubs I like to go to is called "De Beers", just up the street at the university. They are open from Monday to Thursday & Sunday until 12.00 pm (!!!!...like most of the pubs in Scotland...!!!!) Normally on Friday's and Saturday's until 01.00 pm.  

As they serve many kinds of different beverages, you also can enjoy playing a game of table tennis or watching an e.g. on-screen football game. 

Check out their Facebook page here.

Glasgow - Open Mic, for a relaxing evening

If you come to visit Glasgow you should definetely go to a Pub and enjoy some live music for a relaxing chillout night. My favourit so far was an Open Mic at Nice 'N' Sleazy on Mondays. I loved the atmosphere. It is not too crowded and the singers are mostly really talented. You can just chill, enjoy the music, forget about following the Travel Rabbit for a second and let the day end with a beer. :-)

Real traditional Scottish Pub: The Drovers Inn - Loch Lomond

By visiting Loch Lomond, we stopped in a real traditional Scottish Pub: The Drovers Inn.

Located at the very North of Loch Lomond (Inverarnan, North Loch Lomond G83 7DX), on the A82 to Crianlarich, a scene of the movie Cloud Atlas (starring Tom Hanks, Hall Berry and Hugh Grant) has been set.

The Drovers Inn is all decorated with stuffed animals, and a very warm atmosphere. And all the waiters are dressed with a kilt !!

You must try there the famous Haggis and Scotch Broth, but also the Monster and Braveheart Burgers !!
