Welcome

Deep in Glencoe, on the old road beneath the mountains, the Clachaig Inn is where walkers and climbers gather at the end of a day on the hills.

Its bars are warm and busy, with log fires glowing in stone fireplaces.

The Clachaig is famous for its drinks: more than 365 malt whiskies line the shelves, one for every day of the year, along with over a hundred Scottish gins and a growing range of craft spirits. Food is served every day from noon until nine, from snacks to hearty meals, and there is live music through the year.

If you want to stay, the inn has 23 modern rooms, many looking out to the mountains, and a dozen self-catering properties nearby. It opens every day, making it an easy stop on the road through the glen.
