  1. A

    Royal Oak

    This popular folk pub is tiny, so get there early (9pm start weekdays, 2.30pm Saturday) if you want to be sure of a place. Sundays from 4pm to 7pm is open-session – bring your own instruments (or a good singing voice).

  2. B

    Sandy Bell's

    This unassuming bar is a stalwart of the traditional-music scene (the founder's wife sang with The Corries). There's music almost every evening at 9pm, and from 3pm Saturday and Sunday.
