The Scotia Bar

The Scotia Bar dates from 1792. In its early years it was popular with workers and seamen from the docks and shipyards along the Clyde. Passengers from the nearby busy ferries also stopped for a refreshment. 

The 1960s and early 1970s saw the Scotia become a haven for writers, folk singers and socialist political groups. The bar is rightly famous for music, and has featured performances from Van Morrison, Pentangle, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty.
