The Gothenburg, or simply The Goth, is a community-run pub in the former mining village of Fallin, near Stirling, Scotland.[2][1]
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] It remains as a marker of the village's mining history.[5]
The Goth has close ties to the neighbouring bowls club.[6][4]
