The Gothenburg, or simply The Goth, is a community-run pub in the former mining village of Fallin, near Stirling, Scotland.[1][2]
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 donated to community causes.[3] During miners' strikes, The Goth hosted soup kitchens and supported miners' strike funds.[4] It remains as a marker of the village's mining history.[5]
The Goth has close ties with the neighbouring bowls club.[4][6]
