Finbarr and Daniel McNally buy The Dogs in Edinburgh

David Ramsden has sold The Dogs on Edinburgh’s Hanover street to brothers Finbarr and Daniel McNally. David Ramsden has been in the restaurant business for 40 years, launching the original Dogs at its current location in 2007. His previous ventures, Amore Dogs, the Underdogs and Seadogs, all closed a number of years ago. He also previously owned the Morrison Street eatery Rogue, before the restaurant closed in late 2004. He still runs wine bar The Fat Pony Wine Bar on Bread Street. The McNally brothers, who own The Kilted Pig pub on Colinton Road and The Scotsman Lounge at the top of Cockburn Street, plan a major facelift for The Dogs. The 13 existing staff members will be kept on.
