A search has been launched to find a person brave enough to run one of the most haunted pubs in Scotland.
With countless ghost stories over the years, The Osnaburg Bar in Forfar has long held a reputation for being one of the most haunted buildings in the northeast.
It's also considered to be one of the most haunted pubs in Scotland.
One restless spirit has been spooking people in the pub cellars for many years, with several members of staff over the years reporting unexplainable activity.
Paranormal groups and societies have also visited the pub, with claims they found strong evidence of ghostly activities.
Pub owner Greene King is now on the hunt for a brave publican to come in and run the pub on a permanent basis.
They say the pub has the potential to be a thriving business and is one of – if not the best – known pubs in Forfar.
Adding that it is in "great condition" and ready for an entrepreneurial publican to come on in and start serving up the spirits (of the alcoholic variety) as well as beer, cider and other drinks.
Away from ghostly tales, The Osnaburg Bar has a rich history. The pub was first established in 1835, but before then the building of the pub is believed to have been a weavers shop, playing a part in Forfar’s historical involvement in the textile industry.
The pub has the potential to be a thriving community local and successful pub business once more. So much so that Greene King is offering a discounted rent of just £75 per week for the first three months to help a new publican setup their business.
Billy Guthrie, Business Development Manager for Greene King Pub Partners, stated that those keen on applying can visit here.
He said: "The historic and charming Osnaburg Bar is the best local in Town and is famous for its warm and friendly welcome – ghosts included! The site is in excellent condition and any new publican has heaps of potential to take the Oz to the next level.
“Someone who loves to play a vital role in their community and breathe new life into an area will relish running this pub.”
