Yes, even although the lay out has slightly changed these days.

However, it was always the case that the "folkies" and now "trad musicians" tended to gather at the far end of the pub and still do to this day.

The clientele at the front of the bar has changed over the years though. It did used to be the more "regular hardened drinkers" and "auld worthy" types in the old days and there was often a very clear demarcation although some of us did tend mix in both circles at least some of the time.
