The Gardeners Arms has been closed since 2018 and there are proposals to change its use to a shop with flats above. It is 18th century in date and Category B listed https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB34322. According to information in the East Lothian Courier, the name for the pub dates back hundreds of years, as The Fraternity of Gardeners of East Lothian was once based in the town. They purchased a property on a corner of Market Street which contained an inn, which is still known as the Gardeners Arms. The mural on the first floor depicts the square, compasses and pruning knife as would have been used by gardeners.
