A restaurant housed within a pub that famously used to serve Robert Burns has just been added to the Michelin Guide. 1610 at the famous Globe Inn in Dumfries was praised by the Michelin team for its "creative, modern dishes".
The pub, which dates back to 1610 (the name given to its restaurant), is famous as Robert Burn's favourite Howff – a haunt or favourite drinking establishment in Scots – and is considered to be one of the oldest pubs in Scotland.
The Inn itself even has a museum dedicated to the bard, where you can sit in his seat, the Poets Chair, visit his bed chamber, kitchen and dining room, as well as seeing the diamond etched verses scribed on the windowpane by Burns himself.
