Are babies allowed in pubs in Scotland?

We are soon to be travelling to Scotland for a family wedding with our
six-month old daughter. Now that smoking is banned in public, we
thought we could take her to a pub for dinner with us. Is that
accurate?
Also, does anyone have experience breastfeeding in public in Scotland?
Is it culturally tolerated?
We want to prepare so we know what adjustments we need to make ahead of
time.
Thanks!

Most pubs allow children, certainly those that serve food.
It's against the law to prevent mothers breastfeeding in public, that
includes pubs, bars and public transport.

Worth noting:
Some may, however, have a cut-off time after which they don't want
children in the bar.
Where/when children are not allowed inside, they may still be okay in the
garden, if the pub has one.
It's always polite, and can do no harm, to ask.

I beg to differ - most of the pubs in Aberdeen where we attempted to
take our small daughter wouldn't let us. In England the situation is
different.

It's down to the individual pub. Some do, some don't.

I can honestly say that in my entire life of travelling in the UK on
public transport, visiting bars, pubs and restaurants, shopping malls,
theatres, cinemas and anywhere else you care to name, I have *never* seen
anyone breast-feeding.

I've been visting Paris myself this weekend. Apparently I had a lucky
escape as I also visited "unknown Montmartre", so a close encounter of
the Mixi kind may have ensued.
We wanted to go to the Orangerie, but there was a huge queue to get in,
so we went to eat something instead.
I admire the patience Mixi must have had to find a 1/125 of a second
when the cow sculptures weren't mobbed by silly Australian tourists.

You probably wouldn't even know they were, I know when my partner and sister
were breastfeeding (in public) you wouldn't know, as most breastfeed
discreetly.

Maybe this is a recent change? I grew up in Scotland, and I certainly
ate in pubs with my parents, in different parts of the country. Don't
remember it being a particular problem then- that was the 70s into first
part of the 80s though. A quick search would indicate there are plenty
of pubs in Aberdeen which do welcome kids, but that doesn't mean you'd
necessarily happen upon them I suppose. I also reckon the smoking ban
will increase the number of pubs which welcome kids. I certainly
wouldn't have said 'most' welcomed kids though.

I saw someone breast feeding in a pub 2 months ago. They are more
liberal up north.
