Three Tuns in Gateshead
Great pub and my local. Full of the strangest people you'd ever wish to meet. I have a million stories about that boozer but the strangest one for me was one summer. Blazing down sunshine and about 80 people in the bar waiting for the football to start. Most people that drink in the bar have less body parts than they started out with due to bitings, stabbings and various scrapes with the law. Everyones chatting away amongst themselves when in walks a guy in totally normal dress with a set of bagpipes. Now considering this is Gateshead not Galashiels this is a bit odd. He continues to play old lang syne at about a million decibels (this was summer remember) then strolled out without saying a word.... no one blinked and eye and carried on with what they were doing.
