Property details
The Olde Market Inn occupies a prominent position on Whitburn’s main street, surrounded by local shops that generate strong passing footfall. Whitburn is a historic town on the south bank of the River Almond in West Lothian, Scotland, ideally located midway between Scotland’s two largest cities, approximately 23 miles east of Glasgow and 22 miles west of Edinburgh. Steeped in history, Whitburn was traditionally a mining town until the closure of the local colliery in the 1980s and later benefited from the presence of the renowned Levi Strauss clothing manufacturer. The town is currently experiencing significant regeneration and investment. Whitburn is well connected with regular bus services, excellent road access via the M8 motorway and nearby train stations at Armadale and Bathgate.
The bar is a cosy, single-room operation, with a prominent bar immediately visible upon entry. To the right of the entrance sits a pool table, providing a focal point for socialising and games. Two large windows overlooking the main street fill the space with natural light, enhancing the welcoming atmosphere. The wooden flooring complements the bench seating arranged in intimate, snug sections, paired with low-level tables and chairs. High poser tables line the front of the bar, which is adorned with high stools, creating an authentic traditional “olde worldly” pub feel. TVs are positioned around the room, broadcasting live sports and racing. The toilets are conveniently located to the left of the bar.
