The Victoria Bar during the 1930s.

From 1888 to 1890 Andrew Fleck occupied the premises. James Templeton Ward a well known and respected member of the Scottish Licensed Trade took over in 1891, the pub stayed in the Ward family until 1930. To find out more on the Ward family and their public houses click here.

William Grant then took over the pub, again the Grant family ran this very prosperous business for many years well into the 1970s.

The pub is now run by Belhaven Brewery and is still as popular as it was when the Jackson family owned it.
