The Guildhall & Linen Exchange (JD Wetherspoon), Dunfermline

Landmark building, the spire of which can be seen for miles around, converted well into a 'spoons on the ground floor and linked hotel above. Features a slightly split-level, 'U'-shaped arrangement of seating / dining areas, with the far end away from the bar being the most characterful. Also has a few outside tables by the entrances. Only five of eight handpumps in operation, but several interesting beers available including the Cairngorm Black Gold (excellent, and just £2.19).

This is a JDW hotel as well as a pub. The bar area is split level with the bar counter on the lower level. I thought the interior was rather garish for such an old building. The bar has eight hand pumps which had one unused, Deuchars IPA, Abbot, Edinbrew 85 Shilling, Sharps Atlantic, Burton Bridge Battle Brew, Conwy Rampart and Titanic Steerage. I went for the Battle Brew (£2.19) which was so good I had another as the "free" drink with the chicken club. I thought this was a good Spoons and is GBG 2017 listed.
