Liquorstane House is a building in Pleasance, Falkland, on the corner of South Street and the A912. It has been a temperance hotel and a masonic lodge, but is currently (early 2021) empty and being renovated for use as a pharmacy.
In the early 20th century it was referred to as Ness's Termperance Hotel, and the owners, Robert and Catherine Ness, also operated a horse bus and haulage business.
It has given its name to Liquorstane, a modern residential road running south from the A912.
The name "Liquorstane" reflects the Scots "Lickerstane", meaning "a cairn or other stone monument associated with burial[1]
