A popular pub that appeared in the Trainspotting 2 film has been put on the market for sale.
Smith and Clough Business Associates are handling the sale of the pub that has been in the same family for 46 years.
The Orb in Bellshill has an “impressive” public bar as well as a lounge and function room.
“The Orb has been owned by the same family since 1978, during this time it has built up an enviable reputation as a very well-run and established locals’ bar that is very much part of the community,” Smith and Clough said.

“With its location in the town, parking and close to the railway station, it is very accessible and supported well by the surrounding area.”
“Our clients are involved in the day to day running of the business with the assistance of five part time staff members.”
The agent added: “Accessed from the entrance vestibule via a staircase, the function room can accommodate 120 and is used for functions and Northern Soul nights.
“This large traditional room is not used to its full potential and offers scope to grow on the current function levels as our clients do not offer 18ths or 21sts.”
It said: “The room offers ample freestanding tables and chairs, large wooden dance floor and raised stage, ideal for bands.
“To the rear is a large bar servery with booth style seating surrounding part of the dancefloor.
“As a piece of movie trivia, the function room was used in the 2017 film, Trainspotting 2. There is also a kitchen space at the back which has not been used in years so would need to be checked/refurbished should any new owner wish to introduce food again.”
Offers in the region of £325,000 are invited.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
