Is now no more, demolished a couple of years back. Was Three quarters of the way down Pennywell Road heading towards Marine Drive. Ferryboat. Is on the Ferry Road opposite Ferry Road Place and 75yds before you get to the entrance of Drylaw Police station when heading towards Davison Mains, which is a westerly direction. 100yds after the entrance to Drylaw Police station heading west is what used to be the Doocot pub, which has been closed for quite a good few years now. Many would argue that in the 60s, 70s, and 80s the Doocot was the best pub in the whole Granton, West Granton, Royston, West Pilton, Muirhouse area. Willie Muir which was behind what was Diverno's newsagents and the Caroline Bingo hall built in 1966ish, now been demolished for at least a dozen years. I was told by an old boy who used to manage pub in Drylaw that's now next to the McDonald's that the Doocot was the second busiest pub in Scotland at one time, the busiest being the Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow.

Ron Burgundy Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 When some billy big baws gangster types get their comeuppance it is quite satisfying.
