Rated one of the cosiest Pubs in Scotland

The Globe Inn – first established in 1610 and Robert Burns’ favourite howff – combines rich and passionate history with a stunning and sympathetically refurbished restaurant and bar.

Sunday Post

The most prominent of all the pubs associated with Robert Burns

The Globe is a shrine to Burns’ life and times… Ancient timber panellings cover three tiny rooms – all of them museum pieces – with varnish upon varnish upon scuffed, knocked-about, well-worn surfaces.

Went to a Burns Night at this recently refurbished Inn. The menu was a starter of Haggis neeps and tatties with peated rascally cream. The main course was slow cooked rib of beef with dauphinoise potatoes and sprouts al cream. The food was fantastic, period.

Stunning food, excellent fine dining, the newly refreshed establishment was a joy from start to finish. Visited last Friday, beautiful 3 courses. Haggis, pork wellington and toffee apple trifle. Great service and atmosphere, would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

I had the venison carpaccio to start and the flavour was intense! Bright colours lifted the whole dish and the addition of dark chocolate gave such a natural sweet element. I then had the ox cheek. No other word than divine is acceptable to describe it! The cheeks melted in the mouth and were accompanied with a rich buttery pomme puree.
