The Scottie

The Scottie has been at the heart of the Northfield community for many years, operating as a traditional Scottish pub on Northfield Broadway on the eastern edge of the postcode. The pub trades on honest hospitality — pints of proper ale, live sport on the screens, quiz nights, and a pub-grub menu that runs from haggis, neeps and tatties to steak pie, burgers, pasta with smoked salmon, and a daily dessert board covering sticky toffee pudding, brownies and cheesecake. The kitchen accommodates vegetarians, vegans and the gluten-intolerant with dedicated menu options. Northfield sits in the residential stretch between Meadowbank and Portobello, well away from the student-tourist core of Nicolson Street — The Scottie's crowd is predominantly local: families in the afternoon, regulars at the bar in the evening. Live music appears regularly at weekends. Food service runs daily from opening time, with last kitchen orders well before closing.
