Did you know that the Star Bar has a clause in the lease forbidding the removal of a male human skull ?

All regular customers have seen the skull several times, however no one will dare touch it because of the grim consequences fallen upon those who ever tried to move it.

One previous owner, Gordon Mitchell put the skull on display with red lights in the eye sockets. Within four days he was found hanged at the entrance to the bar. Another, who moved the skull, was killed in a road accident in Corstorphine soon afterwards.

A previous manager who was transferred to another local bar was shot at that bar during a raid. Again fitters took out the skull during a refurbishment, unaware of the curse, and inside a week the joiner's workshop, containing the new bar top, burned to the ground. The last time the skull left the star bar, was for a trip to the old Dryboroughs brewery in Edinburgh. During its brief stay there the brewery mysteriously flooded.

The skull was quickly returned to the pub cellar where it safely and finally remains today.
