A DUNFERMLINE pub has smeared its name into the history books as it won a Loo of the Year award.

The Guildhall and Linen Exchange, on High Street, was awarded a platinum plus grading by inspectors.

Loo of the Year officials were blown away by the quality of the toilets, granting them the number two ranking on offer.

The inspectors made an unannounced visit to the Wetherspoons pub, assessing the facilities and deeming them far beyond bog standard.

Facilities were graded on a spread of criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.

Michele Park, manager of the Guildhall and Linen Exchange, was flushed with pride at the award.

“We are delighted with the rating,” she said. “Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in excellent condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”

The toilets are graded bronze, silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The award was backed up by Becky Wall, managing director for Loo of the Year Awards 2024.

She added: “The toilets at the Guildhall and Linen Exchange have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

“The pub deserves its platinum plus award.”
