Clachan Inn

Loch Lomond


One of several pubs in Scotland claiming the 'oldest inn' title (opened 1734), this is an atmospheric, family-run spot with thick whitewashed walls and two cosy rooms. It's very friendly and serves a reliable menu of tasty bar meals. Order the local malt, Glengoyne, for dessert.
