Four Mile Inn, Aberdeen

Once a roadside pub on the main Aberdeen to Inverurie road opposite the long replaced Propellor Garage. Owned by the Howie family for a long time till Clara Howie, proprietor, sold the pub on her retirement in 1949.

Several other private individuals (Donald Thain, Harry Nicoll and ex-Aberdeen footballer Ian Hare) have owned it until Belhaven bought the pub in the 90s. Several vintage photos of the pub are displayed, some of which were supplied by George Howie, a great nephew of Clara.

Since 1994 there has been mysterious noises and footsteps heard at the Four Mile Inn in Bucksburn at Aberdeen. These are usually heard by the bar staff after closing hours. Barmen have heard the footsteps coming from a room above that they had previously locked. When they go back to check the room they have found nothing, but the footsteps start again when they relock the room and go downstairs.

It is thought that this is the mischievous ghost of an owner in the 1950s (must have been Donald Thain) who loved to joke around.

Now selling a single ale from the GreeneKing/Belhaven range. There is a pump in both the public bar and the lounge with both selling the same ale.
