A POPULAR pub which featured in an iconic Scottish film has been put up for sale.
The Orb in Bellshill featured in the film T2 Trainspotting, a sequel to the 1996 original directed by Danny Boyle.
Smith and Clough Business Associates are handling the sale of the pub that has been in the same family for 46 years.

The agents said: “The Orb has been owned by the same family since 1978, during this time it has built up an enviable reputation as a very well-run and established locals’ bar that is very much part of the community.
“With its location in the town, parking and close to the railway station, it is very accessible and supported well by the surrounding area.
“Our clients are involved in the day to day running of the business with the assistance of five part-time staff members.”
The agent added: “Accessed from the entrance vestibule via a staircase, the function room can accommodate 120 and is used for functions and Northern Soul nights.
“This large traditional room is not used to its full potential and offers scope to grow on the current function levels as our clients do not offer 18th or 21st parties.”
It added that there is also a “bar servery with booth style seating surrounding part of the dance floor”.
“As a piece of movie trivia, the function room was used in the 2017 film Trainspotting Two,” the agent said.
“There is also a kitchen space at the back which has not been used in years so would need to be checked/refurbished should any new owner wish to introduce food again.”
Offers in the region of £325,000 are being invited.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
