Ecclefechan Hotel, High Street, Ecclefechan Category C Listed late 18th century inn, altered in the late 19th century. The hotel's website claims the building dates to the 1730s. Refurbished in 2005 the hotel seems to have closed recently and looks to have been on the market for a couple of years. A search of my few directories suggests the hotel may have been called the Bush Hotel, here are the results; 1825 no inn/pub names given; 1837 only vintners listed are Bush Inn, Globe Inn, Ewe & Lamb, Blue Bell; 1861 only vintners listed are Commercial & Globe; 1878-1886 only vintners listed are Bush, Commercial & Globe; 1903 establishments listed are Bush Hotel & Commercial Hotel.

Globe House, High Street, Ecclefechan Category C Listed early 19th century former inn, described in the listing as including Watson's shop. The Globe Inn is listed in my directories in 1837, 1861, 1878 and 1886 but my 1903 directory doesn't include it. The front and middle sections are stone built suggesting the original footprint of the inn, with the rear brick sections a later addition. Between at least 1995 and 2006 the building was vacant and in 2005 planning had been granted for change of use to the former shop (Watson's?) and store to form a flat. In 2010 there appears to have been 3 flats here with a hairdressers in the ground floor shop and in the August, retrospective planning was approved for a shop and 3 flats. The shop seems currently unoccupied.
