A brief visit here allowed me to squeeze two beers in, namely the excellent Cairngorm Tradewinds, and a half of the new Belhaven IPA (3.8%) which is superior in every way to GK IPA and is to be encouraged as a more than satisfactory alternative in any Belhaven pub where GK IPa is served. that said the other three beers were GK brews which was a shame. Still, the beers appear to change frequently so go see what you can find

Fairly good chain pub. Deuchars IPA, Ossians, Creel Ale, Tetley's Mad Trumpet, Ruddles County and Belhaven on pump when I went. The dungeon-like doors open on to a mezzanine with a larger bar area down a small flight of steps. Tartan carpet. S'alright.

A Belhaven pub featuring 9 handpumps of which 6 ales were on offer when visited. Very warm and stuffy pub and dare I say the ale was pretty warm too,but it was still a good tasting pint from Inveralmond Brewery. 7/10

Probably more a pub to go to for food rather than drink. Staff are friendly but a bit on the slow side, especially when busy in the evening/weekend.

This was the second time I have been here. It was quiet the first time I visited. This time it was even quieter. There is however a good selection of real ales from Greene King - Abbot Ale, Deuchars IPA, Inveralmond Ossian, Belhaven 80/, St Andrew's Ale and TT Landlord. The highlight of our visit was watching somebody from the adjacent courthouse being bundled into a waiting vehicle.
