The Musselburgh Arms is the oldest surviving inn in Musselburgh. Still retaining much of its late eighteenth-century character, it served not only as a hostelry for travellers, but also in the nineteenth century as the dining premises for the Royal Bodyguard after the traditional annual archery competition for the Musselburgh Silver Arrow.
