The tea clipper, the Cutty Sark, was the fastest commercial sailing boat ever built, and before she was retired and sent to the dry dock at Greenwich, she visited the wharf here at Ballast Quay and the pub was renamed to honour the occasion.
Built in Dunbarton in Scotland the ship took the odd name, which is archaic Scottish for a short nightshirt, from the poem Tam O’Shanter by Robert Burns
The present building dates from about 1800.
