A roadside pub in a remote location on the A701 road between Moffat and Broughton, which was refitted with an Art Deco-style interior in the 1930s. It has been closed since 2006, but has been acquired by a community group. This has not yet succeeded in reopening the pub, although a café has been established in a former disused outbuilding. Given Scotland’s draconian drink-driving law, the future prospects for a pub in such a spot do not look good.
