Risen from the ashes, the 125-year-old Buchan pub reopened in December 2016 after burning to the ground in 2014. Its rebirth came about via the world's first crowd-funding campaign to build a pub, with contributions from around the globe. Celebrate its return by stopping in for a chicken parma and a cold frothy (mains $22 to $26).
