It was one of the three oldest hostelries in Scotland - granted a drinks licence by King James VI in 1604, a year after he became James I of England. It served briefly as a church in Covenanting times, and it was where Robert Burns wrote his famous poem, ‘Willie Wastle Wife’. A well-used staging post between Edinburgh and Dumfries, it became a fashionable venue for the Edinburgh literati in Victorian times. Tuesday, January 17 2017, 7.30 pm - 9.30 pm Social Evening
