Although well-known locally, the pub gained further attention with the release of controversial film Bodkin Ras.

The multi-award winning film tells the fictional story of a stranger who flees his own country after a fatal accident to hide in Forres only to find himself to blame when a local girl disappears.

It was shot on location in Forres including in the Eagle.

Some viewers claimed the film exploited its cast, which included familiar faces in the pub, but Film Forres chairman Bob Kenny, ahead of a screening of the film last year, urged people to watch it and “make their own minds up”.

Those interested in purchasing the pub will gain access to an establishment with a ground floor which is currently a large public bar while there is a further bar and an expansive nightclub/function area on the upper floor.

The bar on the ground floor houses a substantial horseshoe-shaped wooden bar which includes beer taps and under-counter fridges. There is access to the cellar storage area behind the bar while the large vinyl-covered floor area offers plenty of space.

The ground floor also includes male and female accessible toilets.

The upper floor has a built-in wooden bar with under-counter fridges, male and female toilets and a carpeted seating area around the wooden dancefloor.

The listing adds that the property may be suitable for a range of occupiers but its central location offers a “superb opportunity” to continue as an events venue in the heart of Forres.

The pub is on sale for offer over £155,000.
