This Wetherspoon pub, managed by a real ale enthusiast, has a small beer garden to the rear on two levels with disabled access to the lower of the two. Nearby is the Wellmeadow, centrepiece of the town, a grassy triangular plot hosting regular markets and outdoor entertainments. There were once several springs or wells here, where the 4th-century missionary St Ninian is said to have camped with a party of followers. The practice of holding fairs and markets here began in 1824, including the famous Fair o’ Blair itself, which was staged every July for many years.
