This striking building at the West End of High Street, first opened its doors, in 1934, as the Victoria cinema, closing more than sixty years later, in 1998. These premises are now named after the Gordon Highlander, the only surviving example of the ten locomotives built by the Great North of Scotland Railway, at its Inverurie Loco Works between 1898 and 1905.

These premises were refurbished by JD Wetherspoon in June 2011.
