Locals secure buyout of mainland Britain’s most remote pub

Patrons of the Old Forge in Inverie, Scotland, celebrate success after year-long struggle to raise funds

Locals at mainland Britain's most remote pub are celebrating a community buyout of their beloved establishment after a year-long struggle to raise funds and secure a sale - and hope to be pulling pints again by Easter.

The Old Forge is accessible only by ferry or via a two-day trek through the Knoydart peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. But it is a vital social hub for more than a hundred residents in Inverie, the main settlement.
