A history of drinking : the Scottish pub since 1700

Cooke, Anthony, 1943-2015
Books, Manuscripts
What did Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, Dorothy Wordsworth, James Hogg and Robert Southey have in common? They all toured Scotland and left accounts of their experiences in Scottish hotels, taverns, inns, public houses and ale houses. Similarly, poets and writers from Robert Burns and Walter Scott to Ian Rankin and Irvine Welsh have left vivid descriptions of the pleasures and pains of Scottish drinking places. This fascinating book examines continuity and change in the functions of Scottish drinking places.
