While there are countless pubs across Scotland that have a reputation for being rough, few match the infamy of the now-demolished The Gunner in Edinburgh.Located on Pennywell Road in the Muirhouse housing estate in the capital, the venue was not overly attractive on the outside.
The flat-roofed building had no windows, which only added to its frightening reputation.It was a pub that many did not dare enter, but it was nonetheless popular amongst its regulars.
As reported by Edinburgh Live, even they knew to stay on their guard while inside, however.The name of the pub came from the HMS 'Gunner' naval base that operated at Granton during the First World War.Known by regulars as Boom Boom, the pub was particularly rowdy on weekends, when it hosted karaoke and pool competitions.
