Records and historical documentation on the property go back to 1741 when the property was sold to an Alexander Watson of Glentarkie for the principal sum of Ninety Eight Pounds and Ten Shillings. The property which was to be known as the Victoria Bar changed owners several times until it was purchased by the brewer George Younger & Son Ltd in 1936.

After the war years it was sold in 1947 and then in 1949 when another brewer William Murray & Sons bought the property.

William Murray & Sons then sold the property in 1955 only to buy it back one year later. Consolidation within the brewing industry caused the property to eventually fall under the ownership of Bass Ltd through their subsidiary company Tennent Caledonian Breweries  who bought it for the princely sum of £8500.

 

‘All and whole that tenement of land or lodging high and laigh,back and fore,garden, close, stable, well and the pertinents lying within the Burgh of Kirkcaldy on the north side of the High Street, which subject includes the six dwelling houses’

 

The pub was renamed the Victoriana Bar and remained under the ownership of Bass Brewers until it was sold to a private individual in 1988.The character of the pub changed completely at this time when the original features were covered to create an outlet known as the ‘Fun Pub’.

 

The pub was resold in 1991 to Malt Shovel Inns who transformed the outlet into its present traditional style.

 

The outlet was sold in 2002 and remains under private ownership.We are currently creating content for this section. In order to be able to keep up with our high standards of service, we need a little more time. Please stop by again. Thank you for your interest!
