Established in
1733.
If you google "The Oldest Pub in Scotland" you will get this answer
- The Clachan Inn on the Square in Drymen claims to be the oldest
pub in Scotland - dating from 1734!
Ah well - now who is right? Is 1733 not older than 1734?
The Boston Tea Party was a direct action protest by colonists in
Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the
British government. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston
refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group
of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it
into Boston Harbor.
In the late 17th Century Europeans developed a taste for tea.
Boiling the water made this a safe beverage to drink. Prior to this
the water was not sanitary and ale or claret was the normal drink.
The Settle Inn would have been buzzing back then and you can almost
imagine that atmosphere when you are here.
Wednesday night is folk night at the Settle if visitors want a bit
of music.
