The Black Bitch - Linlithgow, Scotland - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

"The Black Bitch Tavern is a pub steeped in local history. Located at the West Port in Linlithgow, an area that was once busy with traveling merchants and cattle drovers, who would stop at the inns for refreshment. Today the area retains the tradition of hospitality with public houses. The Black Bitch tavern is the oldest pub in Linlithgow and the pub’s name derives from a tale of a black greyhound, whose master was imprisoned on an island in the middle of Linlithgow Loch and sentenced to starve to death. Everyday the greyhound swam out to her master with food and ended up saving his life. The locals took the symbol of the dog’s bravery and loyalty as their own and so people from Linlithgow are proud to be known as ‘Black Bitches’ - the most famous of whom is First Minister, Alex Salmond.

Real Ale
