Behind the Harbour Tavern

Behind the Harbour Tavern

St Andrews Harbour used to have two pubs. They stood at either end of the line of eighteenth and nineteenth-century buildings directly facing the harbour. The pub at the south end was the Harbour Tavern (also known as ‘The Auld Hoose’), which occupied a whitewashed building with a tile roof. The old pub furnishings were removed in the 1950s when the property was used by the St Andrews Sailing Club. Directly behind the Harbour Tavern stood the local gas works – a reflection of the industrial nature of this area in the early twentieth century.
