Inn on the Tay

Top choice in Highland Perthshire


This convivial pub, with its modern bistro-style dining room, makes a great pit stop on the way west to Loch Tay. The menu is simple – salads, burgers, fish and chips – but top quality, and there's an outdoor deck above the river, where you can enjoy a drink while watching rafters and canoeists descend the Grandtully rapids.
