I'm going to talk about Goths. No, not the subculture people dressed in black, nor the Germanic tribe.

Goths are a type of pub (public bar) in Scotland, that are owned and run by a local trust. Typically, the profits from the pub are directed towards causes in the local community.

The name is a diminutive of Gothenburg Public House System. The system originated in Sweden as an attempt to reduce alcohol consumption, and direct money to local causes.
