The Nellie Dean Pub
From outside and on the ground floor of the Nellie Dean, the pub feels very small indeed, rather like an old lounge where the smell of old gravy lingures in the corners and groups of middle aged men pack themselves on tiny tables where the most obvious advantage being the price of [...]
