What people say, in short
The Caledonian is repeatedly recommended as a Scottish pub with a whisky focus. One patron praises the large scotch selection, Scottish food and spacious back patio, while another points to Tennent's alongside the whisky. It also appears in favourite-pub lists. A commenter describes informal Celtic sessions there; that is a reported music experience, not a guaranteed weekly programme. The strongest shared theme is Scottish-style pub drinking.
