Pub celebrates its Scottish heritage
Complete with a piper, haggis supper with ‘neeps and tatties’ and readings from Burns, the event will be held, appropriately, in the pub’s Scottish Bar.
The bar, with its famous collection of tartans from the Clans, dates back to the 1940’s when the Albion was the flagship pub of Scottish brewer Youngs of Edinburgh.

Landlord Bob Tipler said: “It is amazing the pub has survived all the refurb trends over the decades.
“People travel a long way to find their family tartan and we recently had to replace six panels which had been lost or damaged over the years.
“Fortunately we found a tartan specialist in Edinburgh, ironically run by a lady from Sussex, who was able to track down the missing clans and supply us with the tartans.”
