CALVIN Harris has reportedly bought the Scottish pub where he used to drink before he became a global superstar.
The producer and DJ has reportedly gone back to his roots and bought the Coach and Horses Inn, Dumfries, with his mate Mark Irving.
Harris, who shot to fame in 00s with tracks like Acceptable in the 80s and Dizzee Rascal's Dance Wiv Me, has turned the pub into a thriving grass-roots music venue which the pair are “very proud” of, a source told the Scottish Sun.
“Calvin and Mark have gone into business together and created a company called To The Nines. They’ve now taken over the Coach and Horses and Mark is in place as the landlord,” they said.
“It’s a gorgeous pub with a great atmosphere. It’s a great grassroots music venue too, which is something they’re both really proud of.
“Calvin used to drink there before he got famous and there is a signed poster for his first album on the wall.
“It’s a hard time for pubs but the Coach and Horses Inn is thriving.”

Companies House lists To The Nines Limited as being controlled by Irving and Adam Wiles, which is Harris's real name.
The old landlord of the pub, John Owens, previously talked about how the star would drop in to say hello anytime he was back in Dumfries.
He said: “Calvin, or Adam, is a pleasant chap, always has been.
“We’re all proud of him.
“When he’s home he’ll pop in if he gets the chance.”
The Grammy award-winning DJ, best known for tracks like One Kiss, Feel So Close and Bounce, revealed in 2014 that he had quit drinking for good.
The 41-year-old star later said in 2018 that his health had improved since deciding to quit alcohol but joked, “things are a bit less fun”.
