Founded in 1910, it is one of the few remaining pubs in Scotland still run under the Gothenburg system – with at least 95% of the profits gifted to community causes.[3] During miners' strikes the Goth hosted soup kitchens and supported miners' strike funds.[4]
The Goth has close ties to the neighbouring bowls club.[5][4]
