Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Killin

With a Highland welcome and plenty of awesome drinks on offer its a great place to stop and refuel on a wee trip around the loch."

"Deservedly famous, the staff T-shirts (worn with kilts) say it all: ‘Scottish Pub of the Year, 1705’. This 18th-century inn – its walls blackened and thick – is steeped in character and stuffed with taxidermy victims. 01301 704234, droversinn.co.uk"
