...with posters of haggis, Scottish flags, watercolors of Edinburgh Castle and the pub's fake Scottish crest. One of the most fun touches is a Lenin statue wearing a tartan beret. Shipping beer the 4,000 km from Scotland has proved too much of a challenge, though, so the ale is mostly Russian, German and, yes, Irish. But there are Scotch whisky brands aplenty and the menu tries hard to stay on theme. Full Duncan salad (named after the Highlander hero Duncan MacLeod) and Dundee lamb chop are on offer, as is an Orkney Island salad - although the menu acknowledges...

...Feel like a cleansing ale? Try the Kona Brewing Company, tel: (1-808) 334 2739, which offers a range of delicious beers brewed on site. The Big Wave Golden Ale is popular, but if you like a stronger hop flavor ask for Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery also helps to organize an annual Brewers Festival (the next is on March 11). This event may not put Kona on the world map the way Ironman does, but in terms of conviviality we know which one we prefer...
