Your tour guide sounds annoying!!
. I'd hope for good fish and chips, simple, good salmon, haddock, cottage pies, mussels, oysters, lamb and the like. I hope they don't crap it up with the Americanized idea of UK and Irish food.
Dsnation, agreed. Fado is a stink bomb of a place.
No one is allowed to mock Scottish food until you've been or lived there! Mellamur and her husband told me after their visit that it was some of the best food they've ever had! I will never eat salmon, lamb, scallops, oysters or beef again in Atlanta after living there for the year! And deep fried Mars Bars started in Stonehaven down the road from me and they rock in a horrible, hot chocolate chip cookie kind of way! *fisticuffs!!*. 
I know a few of the bartenders to be and they're awesome. I agree with you totally on the Fado vibe, though. I'm hoping traditional pub style with good simple food, cosy nooks and a decent selection of beers. That's all a good pub really needs.
My husband is a hooligan! Yay! *more fisticuffs!!*
What? Food in Scotland was crap, I tell you! Who likes fresh sea critters right out of the water, served on an octopus plate on a bed of seaweed? Or tasty cullen skink? Oh, alright. I guess the food was ok 
but the weather? Meh. 
*note: Scotland is quite lovely. The weather is fabulous, the tour guides are perky and easily swayed to pause touring and pop into a pub. When said tour guide manages to pull visitors out of pubs to see the sights you might run into a seal, a castle, some catacombs or a room of mirrors.
