Historic Scotland food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Scottish Borders
Historic Scotland has no published result under Scotland's food hygiene scheme yet.
The rating: Exempt
The rating dates from 9 July 2023, more than 3 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.

Questions about Historic Scotland
What is Historic Scotland's food hygiene rating?
Historic Scotland does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Exempt".
When was Historic Scotland last inspected?
Historic Scotland was last inspected on 9 July 2023, more than 3 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Scottish Borders Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
Scottish Borders Council inspects Historic Scotland and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
Tell me when this changes
The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Historic Scotland and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
