Pub history

The Saltoun Inn

This three-storey, grade B listed property was built in 1801 as part of the transformation of Saltoun Square (previously named Kirk Green) into a ‘classical town centre’. Originally called the Saltoun Inn, it was funded by the Gardeners’ Friendly Society of Fraserburgh, a ‘gentlemen’s club formed (10 years earlier) for social and benevolent purposes’. The inn provided ‘a fashionable place in which the burgh’s commercial classes could transact business’.
