The Last Drop 🥃 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @lastdroppub
74-78 #Grassmarket, #Edinburgh, #Scotland, #EH1

This amazing pub was the last place one would replenish before facing the 'Gallows in the Grassmarket'. This location would see daily hangings giving it's Pubs plenty of custom.

Lost Scottish Pub Uncovered 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"#EDINBURGH, #SCOTLAND—Evidence of a pub or inn dating back to at least the eighteenth century has been uncovered in the Scottish #Highlands, according to a report from STV News. The remnants, which were found in the Glencoe settlement of #Achtriochtan, include fragments of glass bottles and manganese mottled ware, which is known to have been used to make tankards and drinking goblets. #Archaeologists have been investigating the remains of Achtriochtan and two other #Glencoe villages, all of which appear in eighteenth-century military maps, but which were cleared to make way for sheep grazing by the nineteenth century. Five of the eight known buildings from Achtriochtan have been unearthed, says Derek Alexander, head of archaeology at the #NationalTrust for #Scotland, and one of the residents is identified in records as having been in charge of a house or inn". ...

The Laboursome Stairs of #Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
(1080p Edition for Telegram)

🎙 @VinnieSullivan

The capital of #Scotland isn't just a stunning city but a historic gem of monumental importance. The harships of Edinburgh were worsened by its noticeably difficult terrain. To this day, #Pubs still have to haul kegs up Edinburgh's old stairs by hand. This is the story of Edinburghs' unique design and the effects it still has until today.

1080p for X/Telegram

This is a special feature covering a dark, sinister topic that occurred during the medical industries early breakthroughs. Pubs from #Edinburgh to #London would be an incredibly dangerous place to show signs of illness or to discuss a family death. The murders of #BurkeAndHare exposed a sickening trade that was promoted by a morally corrupt medical industry. Join me in one of Scotlands beautiful kirkyards to discuss an embarrassing, disturbing secret of Britain's academic and criminal past.

Join me as I briefly discuss what makes this pub and the subjects within so incredibly special.

This 1977 documentary named "In One End" covers some beautiful pubs. The first clip is of a man discussing his survival of a major flood that occurred in 1953. The #NorthSeaflood of 1953 caused major damage, injuries, and deaths across #Scotland, #England, #Belgium, and #The Netherlands. It's even been labelled as one of the worst peacetime disasters of the 20th century. 307 people from #England perished, 19 in Scotland, 28 died in Belgium, 1,836 in the Netherlands, and a further 361 people perished at sea. From the sounds of it, he and others were very nearly swept to sea. Saved by the pub! 🍻🏆(Part 1)
