A HISTORIC Scottish pub in Dumfries has been put up for sale.
Agents Christie & Co said that The Ship Inn presents a “fantastic opportunity” for any prospective buyers.
The pub is situated directly opposite the historic St Michael’s Kirkyard, where Robert Burns is buried, and is within 300 yards of Burns House.

The traditional pub has been well invested and refurbished since it was purchased by the current owners in 2021.
As well as a bar and lounge, the property also benefits from two first floor flats. The accommodation is currently leased on a rolling contract, offering an additional income for the prospective buyer.
Associate director with Christie & Co Tony Spence commented: “This is a great opportunity to acquire a well presented public house in the town centre of Dumfries.
“The current owners purchased the property back in 2021. However, due to other business commitments they are now looking to sell.
“The business would be a great purchase for a couple who are looking to start a career in the hospitality sector or a multiple operator looking to grow an existing portfolio.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
