TWO pubs in Scotland have been nominated to be crowned 'Pub of the Year' at a national awards ceremony.
The East End Fox in Glasgow has been shortlisted as a finalist in Greene King Pub of the Year at the upcoming 2023 Great British Pub Awards.
Elsewhere, The Commercial Inn in Dunfermline also picked up a nomination in the Admiral Taverns Pub of the Year category.
The Glasgow pub is the only venue in the city to be named among 96 nominees across multiple categories.
Also competing in their category at the Great British Pub Awards is The Carnarvon in Nottinghamshire, the Hare & Hound in Birmingham, Lion & Lamb in Essex, Stag at Lyndhurst in Hampshire and Guy Earl of Warwick in South East London.
The Commercial Inn meanwhile is the only Scottish pub in its category and is up against competition from Somerset, Wrexham, West Yorkshire, Stoke-on-Trent and Liverpool.
Other categories include Best City Pub, Best Country Pub, Best Dog-Friendly Pub, Best Pub to Watch Sport and Best Sustainable Pub.
A spokesperson for the awards said: "We're busy creating a truly unforgettable evening that will give pub teams an ideal place to network and enjoy a fantastic night together.
"The event isn't just about the glitz and glamour; it's a chance for you and your team to gain the recognition you deserve, catch up with industry leaders, and share in the celebration of our wonderful sector."
The Great British Pub Awards 2023 is taking place on Tuesday, September 19 at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.
Having opened in 2022, the East End Fox previously won Pub Investment of the Year at the pub industry’s prestigious Night of Excellence Awards.
Ferrier Richardson launched the bar after turning a closed site into a thriving business by giving it an expensive £300,000 revamp.
