A good pub with a good kitchen is one of the best things you can find on a drive round Scotland. A fire going, a decent pint, and food that's the reason you came in rather than an afterthought behind the bar. The best of them have rooms upstairs, which is handy when the evening runs on longer than planned.
We've rounded up our favourite pubs where the food is the point, from brewery taprooms to village inns. Every one of them is worth pulling over for.
