The guide includes Glasgow institutions which have been serving the city for decades.

Eight Glasgow pubs have been added to a Guide to the Best Pubs in the UK by The Telegraph with pubs being judged on charming character, welcoming staff, rich history and, of course, award-winning beer.

The Glasgow pubs which have been added to the new list of the best 75 pubs in Scotland include The Ben Nevis Bar, The Griffin, The Laurieston Bar, The Old Toll Bar, Oran Mor, The Pot Still and Scotia Bar.

Will Hawkes, The Telegraph’s beer, food and travel journalist, said: "Despite desperate operating conditions, Britain still has hundreds of magnificent pubs, offering warmth, atmosphere, character and fantastic drinks. You'll find the best of the best in our guide.
