Address
Main Street, Brampton
Where exactly
On Main Street, Brampton. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the town centre, not the building. The position is approximate.

On Brampton's Main Street from the early nineteenth century until 2014, when it stopped being a pub and became a guest house with a liquor licence. Not the Scotch Arms Hotel on Rickergate in Carlisle, or the Scotch Arms Hotel at Longtown, which closed in 1906. In March 1903, when the police objected to every licence in the town, its owner and licensee was William Gladstone.

A door from its yard opened into Beck Lane and another into Central Place, which the police thought rather convenient for an illegal class of business, though they had no fault to find with how the house was run.
