The Highpaw Inn

The Highpaw Inn The Highpaw Inn is a lovely family run pub shed which is situated in our back garden. The inside is sheeted with tongue and grove and insulated.

The Highpaw Inn is a lovely family run pub shed which is situated in our back garden, surrounded with decking. We use the bar at least once a week, usually a Sunday, although we have been known to frequent week-days which are special family get togethers. Our family and friends love the friendly atmosphere, and we have had many barbeque parties for all occasions. The pub name came about after our

beautiful border collie Beth died aged 16. She was the only one who used the back garden and that is where she gave her unusual highpaw greeting. Coloured lights brighten up the deck area during the summer nights where we sit chatting into the early hours with family and friends. In the bar we have a few mod cons such as fridge, ice maker, electric heaters, microwave, radio/cd player, fan, fitted bar seating, bar stools, mirrors, optics and all the usual bar mementos. There isnt a T.V. as we find that would ruin the craic............. please feel free to leave a comment....Paul, Landlord of The Highpaw Inn

A blind man walks into a bar and says to the bartender “Give me a shot of your finest 30 year old single malt !”
The bartender says, “You know, that will cost you 100 bucks – it’s pretty expensive”. The blind man says “Not a problem, I have the money and I know what I like !”. So the bartender, knowing the man is unable to see what he’s pouring, serves him his cheapest single malt – a Glen Garioch 5 year old.

The blind man takes a sip, makes a face and spits it out, exclaiming “That’s 5 year old whisky ! I said a 30 year old single malt !”

The bartender apologizes and pours the man a shot of 12 year old Macallan. The blind man takes a sip of that, and spits it out again, and says “That’s 12 year old whisky ! I said 30 year old !”

The bartender, still wanting to maximize his profit, pours another shot, this time a 21 year old Glenlivit, and sets it in front of the blind man. Again, the man takes a sip, spits it out, and says “That’s 21 year old whisky ! Give me what I ordered, or I am out of here !”

At this point, the bartender has resigned himself to the fact that the man won’t accept anything less than the real thing, and pours him his best 30 year old Balvenie. The blind man takes a sip, and sighs “Now THAT’s 30 year old whisky !”

An old drunk down at the end of the bar who has been watching this whole exchange, walks over to the blind man, sets a glass down in front of him, and says. “Excuse me sir, I’d like you to try this.”

The blind man says “Happy to!” and takes a sip.

Immediately, the blind man spits it out and shouts “My god man, that tastes like P**S !”

The old drunk replies “It is – tell me how old I am”😆
