An historic eighteenth century pub in South Ayrshire has re-opened its doors to serve the community once again.
Ballantrae’s beloved Kings Arms - the last survivor of three pubs in the village - has reopened after it was forced to close in October last year due to spiralling energy costs and cost of living increases.
After being purchased for the community by the Ballantrae Trust with support from the Scottish Land Fund in September 2020, it initially operated from April 2021 until October 2022 before shutting up shop.
