Inn at Lathones, St Andrews

历史

The history of the Inn goes back over 400 years. The Stables, being the oldest part, is today the bar where The Grey Lady (resident friendly ghost) and her horse reside. The front house was built in the late 17th century and is watched over by a wedding stone placed above the fire place as its lintel. The couple married in the local Kirk in 1718 and were blessed by the Minister in front of the fire before the festivities started. Iona Kirk and Ewan Lindsay ran the Inn ( then a Drovers Inn) from that day on until Iona's death in 1736. It's said that the two were so in love that when Iona died the wedding stone cracked and Ewan died shortly afterwards of unknown causes. I have often wondered since this story was told to me if the Grey Lady is in fact Iona putting her horse away?

The area between St Andrews and Lundin Links was plagued by a highwayman known as "Wee Mad MacGregor" a colourful character who was under five foot and was disfigured on the one side of his body, making his face droop. He drooled from the corner of his mouth and reputedly drank and ate at the Inn following his "outings"
