The oldest part of the building dates back to the 18th century when it was known as the Ferrymans Inn due to the close proximity to the ferry carrying passengers between Connel and north lorn now replaced with Connel bridge towering over the famous Falls of Lora tidal waterfall. The bar remains affectionally known by locals as the gluepot. The rear of the original building was at one time home to a blacksmith, who when trimming horse hooves would melt the cut off in a double-sided pot to produce glue.
