The Scotch Piper Inn

Sited on the A567, nine miles from Liverpool and eleven miles from Southport stands The Scotch Piper, the oldest inn in Lancashire.

Built around an oak tree in the 14th century and known as 'The Royal Oak', until, as legend has it, an injured highland piper from the 1745 rebellion took refuge at the inn. Eventually, he married the innkeeper's daughter and in his honour the pub was re-named.

A visit to this traditional thatched inn is almost like a step back into the past as it retains many of its original structural features.
