(DWN: The Highlanders (novelisation)) Many of the English perpetrators of Scottish enslavement, like Trask, Solicitor Grey and Perkins frequented the inn's pub.
Polly Wright and the Second Doctor both spent some time in disguise in the place, trying to discover the fate of the Anabelle, a slave ship to which Jamie McCrimmon and Ben Jackson had been taken. (AG: The Highlanders)
