Did you know your pub's been knocked down?

Ross Hunt, owner of the Quayside Bar in Inverkeithing, Fife was shocked to find out in a phone call the property had been flattened. The pub was closed, but Ross lived in the accommodation upstairs and had plans to re-open the premises in the future.

The Dunfermiline Press​ reports the pub was a well-known local landmark having been a hostelry for more than a century, previously known as The Shore Bar and Ye Olde Forresters Arms.

A derelict former mill site next door was demolished but somehow the pub was razed to the ground as well. Ross has now started legal action against the mill's receivers, Ernst and Young.

He said: "It seems that there had been a belief that my home had been part of the mill.

"The pub still had hundreds of glasses, a pool table, a music system. There was always the possibility that when I left the forces I could re-open it as a pub."

Ross said he was "stunned and "absolutely gutted" when he saw what had happened.

Snifter hopes that Ross gets compensated soon and wishes him all the best.
