This former grammar school is a historic Category B listed building dating from 1787. It is located adjacent to the Stirling Castle esplanade and operates as a hotel and bar. The exposed stone walls, wood panelling and ornate surround open fireplace create a warm and cosy atmosphere catering for tourists and locals. It has an excellent reputation for food (booking is advisable) and two ever changing ales from north and south of the border, plus a good range of malt whisky.

Information for this venue is provided by the Forth Valley Branch of CAMRA
