The notorious pub was demolished in 2015
While there are countless pubs across Scotland that have a reputation for being rough, few match the infamy of the now-demolished The Gunner in Edinburgh.
The name of the pub came from the HMS 'Gunner' naval base that operated at Granton during the First World War. Because of all of this, CCTV was installed and the pub even resorted to serving pints in plastic cups in an attempt to avoid serious injuries when glasses were inevitably thrown during fights.
Despite its notoriety, The Gunner remained a favourite amongst locals. Many were sad to see it close in 2015, before the building was demolished. Gordon Guthrie wrote: "Worked for Punch Taverns in here! Walked in, in a high viz jacket and a mobile radio on! Cleared the bar in seconds."
