A Pub Crawl Through History

Elspeth was brought up in Glasgow at a time when women were banned from many pubs, sectarian songs were rife and Christmas meant a warm Babycham. After graduating with a history degree from St Andrews University, the subject has remained a constant in her varied career as marketer, researcher, small business owner, interpreter and author of fifteen books. Elspeth has always been fascinated by names and how they help keep memories alive.
