One of Scotland’s oldest pubs, The Griffin in Glasgow, has been bought by the owner of the Isle of Skye Brewing Company, signalling his first move into the licensed trade.
Kenny Webster purchased the bar, which has operated on the corner of Bath Street and Elmbank Street since 1903, from city publican and entrepreneur Oli Norman, for an undisclosed sum.
The Griffin, which has lain empty since March 2020 after being forced to close during the lockdown, is due to reopen this week following a £40,000 refurbishment.
