Three Edinburgh pubs feature in new publication

Three Edinburgh pubs are celebrated as traditional coaching inns of historical significance in the latest publication from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Historic Coaching Inns of the Great North by beer writer Roger Protz features The Tolbooth Tavern, The Beehive, and The White Hart, the city’s oldest inn which dates from 1516.

The publication includes maps showing key roads for each section of the route, practical information including recommendations for local visits and quirky anecdotes to convey the history and legends of the Great North Road.

Mr Protz said: “The Great North Road is part of British folklore, which is still alive today thanks to the survival of these magnificent coaching inns.

“Travellers can use this guide to retrace old routes and enjoy some of Britain’s most fascinating traditional pubs while learning about the history and culture that is draped along this iconic road.”
