Drover’s Inn

Loch Lomond


Don't miss this low-ceilinged howff (drinking den), just north of Ardlui, with its smoke-blackened stone, kilted bartenders, and walls adorned with moth-eaten stags’ heads and stuffed birds. The convivial bar, where Rob Roy allegedly dropped by for pints, serves hearty hill-walking fuel and hosts live folk music on weekends.

Rooms could do with an upgrade but there are some newer ones in a separate building, the Stagger Inn.
