Counting House, Dundee

Opened in 1856 originally as National Bank, more recently a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland. This impressive building was originally designed by George Angus and modified by William Scott. It was reconstructed by Robert Gibson in the 1930s and then described as a notable example of modern banking architecture. Customers entered his new-look bank via a revolving door, crossed a terrazzo marble floor and were served at handsome mahogany counters topped with shiny bronze grilles.

Smaller than many Wetherspoon pubs, but still boasting a good selection of ales. Very busy at peak times, with its city centre location at scenic Albert Square. Long opening hours, so choose your time to stop off for a few ales, with good food served all day, sometimes till 11pm; opens for breakfast at 8am with alcoholic drinks served from 11am.

Please note that since the recent 30% increase in statutory Minimum Unit Pricing of Alcohol, Wetherspoon pubs may not accept the full value of CAMRA Vouchers for some lower-priced real ales.
