Maybe not the tiniest establishments, but if you see (imported) whiskey from the US or Canada at the bar (Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Seagram's, Crown Royal, for example) - - then I bet you will find non-alcoholic brands like Holsten or Clausthaler. Maybe even O'Doul's?

Non-alcoholic beers are readily accessible in supermarkets; never tried ordering it at a pub or restaurant. Supermarkets also stock an interesting seleciton of non-alocholic wine substitutes. The Ame Dry is a particular favorite of mine. In bars I often order lemonade and lime.

During our one stay a friend of mine with us was on medication and couldn't do any alcohol. She put away a whole lot of non-alcohol beers and never had a problem finding them at any pub in London we went to. In fact it became sort of funny, because no two pubs seemed to have the same one -- every pub had a new one for her to try -- some pretty bad, some very good.

I agree with the last post. I think all pubs have some, but it tastes awful. Don't imagine that the non-alcoholic beer tastes anything like the real thing. If you want a non-alcoholic drink, try water, fruit juice, tea, or anything other than non-alcoholic beer - it's not even cheap and, I think, often costs as much as the real thing.

I don't know about England or Scotland, but Italy, Germany and Austria all have WONDERFUL non-alcoholic beers. They actually taste like a good expensive beer, but are non-alcoholic. Germany has many different brands, so I would think they would be carried in England and Scotland. Good luck, and just ask. We found it at ALL restaurants, small and large, and supermarkets. Patti
