Oldest Pub in Scotland?
--- Quote ---Experts believe that 4600 years ago, thirsty natives may have been enjoying a pie and pint at Jarlshof in Shetland.
They say the layout of the stone settlement near Sumburgh Head suggests it may be the oldest pub ever found in Britain.
And a dozen or so quernstones - for grinding barley - indicate it may have served as both a drinking den and a bakery.
