Tommy Hacket had also owned the Elphinstone Arms and the Central Bar, Leith.
For ages we have wondered why it was called the Dolphin Inn and he was able to say that he and his brothers and sisters had sat with a book of pubs names from throughout the UK and eventually they picked the Dolphin as the name - easy as that.
He even had a wee look into the flat to bring back memories of his childhood.
Things progressing towards the re launch on Saturday first - no panic yet ( who says).

Very interesting PC, and what a very small world we live in! How amazing that his father build the Dolphin, and lovely that he was able to share his stories and history of the place with you.
