The Black Bull Inn Moffat

The Black Bull Inn, Moffat

The Black Bull Inn, Moffat is an independently owned, award winning Scottish hostelry, established1568. The oldest hostelry in the area, the Inn is well known for its links to Robert Burns, Scotland’s National Poet who visited during his heyday. The Black Bull is also connected to another notable character from history – the controversial Earl (Bonnie) of Dundee, who commandeered the Black Bull as HQ in the 17th century and oversaw the persecution of Scottish Presbyterians from within its walls. As well as playing host to two historical characters, the inn is home to a resident spook, occasionally seen by guests – but don’t worry, she’s friendly! With olde world ambience and atmosphere oozing out of its walls, the Black Bull is a welcoming, warm and interesting place to visit, with touches of traditional Scotland interwoven with contemporary twists and is everything an ancient Scottish hostelry should be. With great food, excellent wines, superb cask ales and beautifully styled rooms the inn never fails to charm both international and UK patrons and their pooches too. The inn is a very dog friendly destination, voted the 14th most dog friendly establishment in the UK and the TOP scorer in Scotland in a Daily Mirror/Daily Record vote! While in 2020 a national newspaper named us one of Scotland’s ten best pubs.
