Reconstruction of The Turf Tavern was carried out for James Aitken of Falkirk. Plans showing a centre door and large horseshoe bar were rejected in favour of the above-described layout, with a jug bar accessed from the South Street (N) elevation. Nearly free standing, the design boasts typical late Victorian detailing and a notable wallhead display making a significant contribution to the streetscape.
