Historic Interest

Grade B Listed, Historic Environment Scotland reference LB26304. Originally late 18th century & three storeys when it may have been known as the Sun Tavern. It was combined into a single two storey pub in the late 19th century. Photos show it as the 'Queen of the South Bar' in 1948, 'Baker Street' in 2009, 'Wh? Not' in 2014/15, and 'Queen of the South' again in 2018. In early 2020 the lease was up or sale with the signage a 'blank canvas' waiting for another name.
