A Glasgow pub has been named one of the 'most affordable cosy' pubs to enjoy in winter.

With longer and colder nights creeping in, many of us might be searching for that perfect winter pub that makes us feel right at home enjoying a comforting drink in a relaxed atmosphere. 

To help people find the best value for their pub visits, money experts Moneyboat created a ranking of the top 10 most 'affordable' and 'cosy' pubs in the UK.

Known for its traditional pub decor and community spirit, The Old Smiddy is a local favourite in the area for its range of drinks, pub grub, quiz nights and live entertainment. 

Last year we reported that the pub launched a drive to collect items for Glasgow's homeless population and they were 'overwhelmed' with the positive response from punters who wanted to donate.
