The Ship Inn, Limekilns
Description
The Ship Inn is located in the historic village of Limekilns on the north shore of the River Forth. For many years the villages of Limekilns and adjacent Charlestown were industrial ports providing limestone to other parts of Scotland. Today ‘Limekilns’ is a reminder to the industry which formed the villages.
Limekilns was also home to many other industries such as shipbuilding, brewing and soap making and the main terminus for the ferry linking Bo’ness to the shores of Fife. This is echoed in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel ‘Kidnapped’ where David Balfour and Alan Breck were carried across the Forth after an alleged tipple at The Ship Inn.
The Ship Inn today is a family run business which prides itself in providing a warm relaxed atmosphere where you can come and enjoy the views of the bridges and beyond, while sampling fresh and locally produced home-made food and fine Real Ales.
We currently offer lunches everyday. Our menu provides you with a choice of starters, light bites and main courses all of which are prepared to order. We specialise in fresh fish and seafood and offer daily specials.
