Heilen Jessie 374 Gallowgate

 The tenement block where the pub Heilen Jessie is housed is the oldest tenement block in Glasgow, and is situated in the Gallowgate area of the city.  The tenement dates from 1771, the year Sir Walter Scott was born. The pub is well worth a visit with a good selection of beers and whiskies.
