Tucked away near St Mary's Kirk, the pub used to overlook the Corn Exchange. However, a previous owner was called Dalton and that name has stuck ever since. Popular with locals, this Victorian gem has a bar featuring original dark-wood panelling and ornate cornice work, and a comfy back lounge used for parties, occasional karaoke and Sunday folk sessions. Children are not admitted. CAMRA Borders Pub of the Year Runner up 2022.
