History

The Burgh Arms was built on the site of a house dating from 1664. In 1888, the house was extended to form the Burgh Arms hotel. Extensive 19th and 20th century additions were made to the rear of the building.[1][2]

In December 1972, the Burgh Arms was awarded category C listed status by Historic Scotland.[2] Subsequently, the Burgh Arms use changed from hotel to public house.[3]

The interior features an original stone fireplace and decorative plaster cornice; most of the fabric to pub interior has been replaced.[2][3] In 2024, external works were undertaken to enhance the character and appearance of the Burgh Arms.[4]
