press release picture of cyclists
press release wording... Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop has announced the allocation of over £26 million to make it easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle for everyday journeys. Regional Transport Partnerships and Local Authorities have applied through ‘Tier 2’, which is the construction element of the Scottish Government’s Active Travel Infrastructure Fund, through a competitive process to support new infrastructure. The Cabinet Secretary confirmed the funding allocation while visiting the recently completed first phase of the Connecting Battlefield active travel route in Glasgow, which was awarded funding through a previous round of the Active Travel Infrastructure Fund. Ms Hyslop said: “I’m pleased to confirm that over £26 million has now been allocated and awarded for active travel infrastructure construction projects across Scotland. “Safer and better quality routes for walking, wheeling and cycling will make it easier for people to choose more sustainable travel options for everyday journeys. This means more people saving money, living healthier lives and leaving their car at home to reduce their emissions. “Further awards for construction projects are anticipated in the coming months, alongside funding for other projects which support uptake, which are also now delivered through local authorities and regional transport partnerships. We’re investing over £188 million in active and sustainable travel in 2025-26 – and from the evidence we’re seeing on the infrastructure we have previously funded, we’re confident we’ll see even greater rates of walking, wheeling and cycling as a direct result of that investment.”

Not a current pub as such, but I suspect a real Internet rabbit hole to follow.
A bearded elf with a pointed hat crouches like a cat on the roofline, looking out over the gable end.
The building was formerly the Black Bull Inn. It was renovated in 1904.
