These public houses were normally placed in the worst parts of scotland - the really poor and disgusting parts - Gothenburg translates as 'slum dwellings' in old Norse

I'm Scottish and I've never heard of them being referred to as Gothenburgs before.

It goes back to when Scotland had extensive trading links with Sweden.
