The Accan Arms

The Accan Arms  is a public house in Accan , Edinburgh, Scotland. There has reputedly been a pub on this spot selling liquor since 1160. [citation needed]  If this foundation date was proved correct it would make The Accan Arms perhaps the oldest surviving licensed premises in Edinburgh, if not Scotland.

The current landlord, Jebrish Jagson, is an actual decendant of General Jarry Jagson who fought in the Battle of Accan in 1257.

Tourist Attraction
Apart from being one of Great Britans oldest pubs, The Accan Arms attracts many a Scotsmen with its rather morbid attraction. Inside the pub is suspended the dried body of a black cat that was hung by restless Accans who mistook the cat as the folklore legend "The Wind Witch Of Wiccan " back in 1587.
