THE landlady at an iconic Scottish pub has resigned after 30 years.
Nina Steele was at the helm of The Park Bar in Glasgow for decades. The bar is a regular spot for Scots to enjoy traditional live music.
She toldour sister title The Herald: “It has been a privilege to run The Park Bar over the last 30-odd years.
"The Park plays a special role not only in the local community but also within Gaeldom and with followers of traditional ceilidh music.
"Thank you to all our fantastic customers, we have made many friends from all over the world.”
The decision comes just months after The Park Bar was bought by hospitality giant Trust Inns which owns 350 pubs around the UK.
The Park Bar and The Brass Monkey were both acquired by the Lancashire-based giant.
Now, the leasehold is on the market with Graham + Sibbald expecting to fetch £75,000 per year with an ingoing premium of £225,000 sought.
The property agent said: "The Park Bar is a well-established business, acting as a popular venue for ceilidh music for more than 50 years, hosting some of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians.
"The Park Bar also boasts an impressive selection of fine Scottish drinks.
"The current tenants have run the pub for nearly 30 years and are moving onto pastures new, leaving behind an excellent business perfect for the right tenant to build upon."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
