6. The Horseshoe Bar(1870)
One of the finest examples of an island bar open-plan pub in Scotland. It has the longest continuous bar in the UK, measuring 32m (104ft 3in). Built in 1870 and remodelled in 1885–7 by John Scouller and again in 1901, when the partitions between sitting rooms and the bar were removed | Mark F Gibson / Gibson Digital
7. The Laurieston
Described by CAMRA as ‘one of the most remarkable pub interiors in the UK’ - The Laurieston still features the near exact-same interiors as it did from its (circa) 1960 remodelling - with CAMRA remarking most on the pubs ‘island bar style'. | Contributed
8. The Pot Still
The Hope Street public house hasn’t always been called The Pot Still, but it has always been a pub! The first tenant recorded was John Hill, a wine and spirits merchant who operated the premises in 1867. William McCall and his family were the first family to own the bar back in 1886 when it was McCalls bar. The bar saw several generations of family and friends of the McCall’s at the helm, right up until the early 1960’s when the Tennents Caledonian breweries group took over. Tennents made extensive alterations and refurbished the pub, including the addition of the lounge at the back in 1971. The bar was run by Tennents managers until 1981 when the bar was taken over and The Pot Still name was introduced. | The Pot Still
