Prior to the 18th Century there were few roads in Derbyshire. The Scotsmans Pack stands on one of the old tracks leading to Sheffield and the Sheffield Manor Castle. It was a regular calling place for food and shelter for the 'Packman' or 'Travelling Drapers' who visited every farm and village in the area offering there goods and carrying news-packmen from Scotland sold there tweeds here to the local farmers.

At the rear of the Inn there was one piece of common land where gypsies, squatters and sheep thieves settled. Later, when still in its original condition, the Pub was frequented by farmers, shepherds and the local quarrymen.
