Dog Friendly Pub of the Year
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates The Ship in Irvine on being named the Dog Friendly Pub of the Year at the 2024 Scottish Pub and Bar Awards; understands that the winners attended a glittering Grand Ole Opry-themed event, held at the Doubletree Hilton in Glasgow on 27 August 2024; acknowledges that the awards, now in their 29th year, are Scotland’s longest-running licensed trade awards and celebrate the industry’s rising stars, customer service gurus and creative forces; understands that The Ship, previously known as The Ship Inn, is the oldest public house in Irvine, built in 1596, and that it has held a drinks licence as an inn since 1754; further understands that it is where Captain Brown famously told Robert Burns to go to Jamaica to seek his fortune; congratulates all at The Ship for their achievement, and wishes them continued success in the future.
