What all 54, 000 of them? All the power to you, Mate. Actually 1 of the 200 is stumbling distance from my former abode in Crawley, West Sussex. Go Red Devils!

Note that The Globe in Dumfries which is a favourite xmarkers haunt is one of the few pubs listed for Scotland, indeed it appears to be the only Scottish pub south of Edinburgh and Glasgow which they have included in their list of 200.
Ah well, Greg, that's one you've already visited, so one less on your to do list!

Thats good timing. I'll be visiting Scotland and England in August and this post gives me a good heads-up. Thanks!

In Donegal, on the Inishowen:
The Drunken Duck in Carastrowna, Greencastle.
The Quiet Lady in Carndonagh
Both have wonderful food, beverage, and great Craic.

I only recognise two of their picks as places I've drank in, and can definitely agree that both of them belong on the list. They are the "Hand in Hand" in Wimbledon and the "Trip to Jerusalem" in Nottingham.

The latter claims to be England's oldest pub, and certainly looks to have been built in the 12th century as they say it was, so it most likely is. It is next door to Nottingham Castle and would have been there even back in Robin Hood's day. Assuming he was a real person he might well have sampled their ale - in disguise to avoid being nabbed by the next door neighbour, LOL! I doubt if the Sheriff of Nottingham would have frequented a common pub, though.
