Scots 'Outlander' pub bought by locals and American fans are snapping up shares

Locals have bought a 600-year-old pub in the village where Outlander was filmed - with American fans of the hit TV show snapping up shares. The Red Lion Inn, in Culross, Fife, was at risk when previous private owners planned to sell up.

Landlord Mike Brown, 51, who has worked there 23 years was approached to see if he would lease it if it was bought by the community. Mike's wife has worked there for decades and his daughter, now a qualified school teacher, began working there 13 years ago, when she was 14 years old.

A clause in the lease says the building must always remain a pub, which was important to the community after another pub was turned into a B&B. A significant debt needs to be paid off.
