The Scotsmans Pack

This one is for Trev and Kev. Trevor your walks around the Peak District look wonderful. We actually stayed at the Scotsmans Pack (3 nights) at end of November, 2005. Great little Pub in every way - and oh, that breakfast!!.

We had a super dinner there one night with Kevin and Margaret, and Frank and Marg's brother - Peter and his wife - another Margaret.

The food was delicious, even though the dessert dishes looked a little "pie eyed" according to their brother, Pete?
In December, 2007, when back in England, we drove to Hathersage, taking in St Michael's Church on the hill in School Lane, and yes - had another great lunch with a glass of vino to wash it down, at the Scotsmans Pack.
To think the Pub is actually named after the "Packmen" who used to travel from home to home, village to village, offering goods and carrying news - and a lot of them did not have a tartan pleated kilt on - the scots can't take all the credit for the naming of this Pub.
*****
Charlotte Bronte also set her novel, Jane Eyre - in the village of Hathersage.
AND Trev and fellow walkers, you assigned this great Pub as your final stop on this week's walk - a great "spring" finale!.
