Newbridge Inn

Newbridge Inn stands at the corner of Old Liston Road and Bridge Street, displaying traditional Scottish architecture dating from 1895. The building holds Category C listed status and the premises are no longer in operation as a public house.

The inn was established in 1683 on land owned by Archibald Hope of Raukellour and became an important stop for travelers. It stood along the principal route connecting Edinburgh and Glasgow throughout its long history.

The inn served as a vital gathering spot where the Newbridge community came together for social occasions and daily interaction. Its closure in 2023 left a noticeable gap in the local social fabric.

The building is no longer open to the public as it no longer operates as an inn. Visitors can view the exterior and architectural details from the street.

The original lease agreement from 1700 included an unusual payment arrangement where the tenant had to provide two lambs at Whitsunday and Christmas along with six hens at Whitsunday each year. Such payment in goods was a common feature of rural property agreements in that era.
