Grotesque Human Mask, Date Stone
Market arms inn sign

Category B listed building. The Market Inn is dated 1585 on a painted lunette stone with grotesque moustachioed head - you can see it by going through the pend arch. The building in it's present form could be as late as 18th century but incorporating earlier fabric, but it is certainly the oldest building in continuous occupation in Banff.
