Buck Hotel, Langholm

Mid 18th-century small hotel that has been modernised but retains its narrow public bar with two old back gantries. On the left the gantry has a mirrored back and two narrow mirror strips while the one on the right has slender supports and holds 50 single malt whiskies. The bar counter with two sets of disused beer engine handles and a working water tap is at least 50 years old and curves in front of the right gantry. Other old features include the panelled walls and ceiling, a 100-year-old cast-iron and glazed brick fireplace but the seating is modern. The front door leads into a Victorian tiled hallway with an old bell-box and a hatch for service. The sitting room at the rear was converted to a lounge in the early 1970s and on the left is a modernised games room, which was formerly two small rooms.
