The Scotch of St James
The Scotch of St James is an atmospheric venue with a touch of highland spirit to it. Available for private hire, it is a great spot for filming and photography shoots which require a night club scene, a private members club look or a bar scene. Use of the full nightclub set up is also an option.
Renowned as the preferred playground for just about every major music personality of the swinging 60’s the club famously played host to a then unknown Jimi Hendrix’s first impromptu gig on arrival in England in 1966.
