Originally "The Border Reiver", this was the last pub opened by the State Management Scheme. Opened in July 1971 and sold to private ownership in May 1973, the original pub sign depicted someone with a more than passing resemblance to Robin Hood (who was neither Scottish nor a Reiver), but this is presumed lost when the pub name was changed. Still trading. See also: Image] , Image] and Image] . Photograph is for record only - I have no connection with this business and cannot advise on its products or services.
