Thoughts?

Am gonna be up there for a couple of months with work, B&B on my lonesome type thing. I do like to explore and wander around in the evenings, but wouldn't mind a few pointers / recommendations for stuff to see and do there.

eg: decent pubs (gigs?) would be very helpful as i'm pretty sure there are alot of shitty stag/hen type bars that i'd ideally like to avoid!
