Scotland’s Art Deco Heritage 27: The Crook Inn, Tweedsmuir
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Scotland at 12:00 on 29 April 2013
The inn is situated on the A 701 about 18 miles from Moffat going north and apparently has a claim to be the oldest inn in Scotland, though others do too.
A campaign by the local community to save it from conversion to accomodation as a gathering place for events has recently reached its funding target.
So. How can an inn which claims to be the oldest in Scotland and has a connection with Robert Burns be in a list of Art Deco buildings?
Well check out the extension.
Rounded entrance with glazing to match, the overhanging canopy, the banding on the balcony above. All deco.
I hope they keep that frontage.

Yes David, it is.
I’m looking forward to it being done up.
I may even drop in for a coffee on the way to wherever.
