    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!

    Good call.
    -Kelly's Cellars - Best Guinness pub in Belfast bar none. You'll need to get directions though, it is tucked away in a side street.

    -The Botanical
    The "Bot", the "other" student's union, great place to watch rugby. They often serve "real ale" too (which means, for our brothers across the pond, it is a "microbrewery" beer that smells of flatulence. If you can get past the smell, it tastes good. Bit like blue cheese in that way...).

    Don't forget the Crown, one of the prettiest pubs in Belfast, and it still has snugs too!

    Yeah, the Crown is pretty, but I wasn't all that impressed with it as a bar. Definitely worth stopping in and taking photos though!
