There's a note in the review box on Barns Ness Hotel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/48695/) stating that "The Royal MacKintosh Hotel is now called Barns Ness Hotel. [admin note: updated name 01/06/2010]". The pub has then been marked as closed by the same person. However, Google maps street view (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=EH42+1JY&hl=en&ll=55.99996,-2.513356&spn=0.000807,0.001725&sll=55.872945,-2.096742&sspn=0.001631,0.003449&t=h&hnear=Dunbar+EH42+1JY,+United+Kingdom&z=19&layer=c&cbll=56.000004,-2.513255&panoid=sGz8NVFMVHjuwIPdq7fu3g&cbp=12,331.45,,1,-7.73) shows that this pub was called Barns Ness in 2008, and the http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/75456/'s website (http://www.royalmackintosh.co.uk/) appears to be up to date, suggesting that in fact it was the Barns Ness which became the Royal Mackintosh, not the other way round. Anyway, we now have two entries for what is evidently the same pub, so I suggest deleting the closed one.

Yeah that seems sensible, just deleted the closed listing
