Written by author on August 28, 2010
Mulligans Bar in Nith Place, Dumfries was destroyed in a fire early hours of this morning.
The fire was discovered at 1.45 am by the patrons of the public bar next door.
Police and fire brigade were soon in attendance. Despite the speedy arrival Mulligans Bar was totally gutted and left as a virtual shell.
The wall at the rear of Mulligans bar is seriously damaged and in imminent danger of collapse. Due to the instability of the building police have taped off the area to both traffic and pedestrians.
There is no report of any one injured in the fire; the building has been derelict for around 3 years, and no reports of damage to adjoining buildings. However there was serious disruption to local business and dwellings due to the disconnection of utilities which were carried out to isolate the services to Mulligans Bar.
