There are few scheme pubs in Edinburgh that can ever hope to achieve the infamy The Gunner had back in the day.
Situated at the end of Pennywell Road in Muirhouse, the flat roofed boozer had a fearsome reputation and was the kind of place the faint of heart dared not enter.
What The Gunner lacked in windows (rather terrifyingly, it had none), it certainly made up for in atmosphere - just ask any of its former regulars. Everyone knew to be on their guard of course, but as long as you knew folk you were normally alright.
