EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the picturesque village of Glenfarg near Perth, Scotland, showcases The Bein Inn, a quaint single-storey pub that holds a rich historical significance. The Bein Inn is a prime example of the Gothenburg System, a public house movement that originated in the Swedish city of Gothenburg in the early 19th century. The Gothenburg System, also known as the Trust Public House movement, was an attempt to control the consumption of alcohol, particularly in working-class communities. The system gained popularity and spread to Scotland, where it was mainly adopted in the mining communities of Fife and the Lothians. The Bein Inn, with its rustic charm and traditional features, is a testament to this fascinating period in Scottish history. The image depicts a horse-drawn wagon loaded with luggage and cases, possibly belonging to miners, parked outside the inn. The presence of the wagon suggests that the patrons of the Bein Inn may have been travelers, stopping for a rest and a drink before continuing their journey. The Gothenburg System aimed to provide a clean, safe, and affordable drinking environment for the working class, as well as to promote temperance and sobriety. The system was characterized by the sale of beer and ale only, and the absence of spirits. The Bein Inn, with its simple yet inviting facade, embodies the spirit of the Gothenburg System and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community, tradition, and the simple pleasures of life were at the heart of Scottish pub culture.
