Cairngorm Caillie at the Claraic Inn, Glencoe

The Claraic Inn is set against the stunning scenery of Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands. Whilst primarily a inn; its large snug bar with booths and large tables are perfect for groups to curl up for a quick break from their  travels; whether by foot or road. There are also picnic benches to enjoy the mountains of the Highlands while being sheltered from the main road traffic. It has an extensive range of fifteen hand pumps; and I was very pleased to see Thirsty Cross’s Whisky Cask Cider on the end. I tried a half of Cairngorm Caillie which was in excellent condition and a new beer for me; a low gravity golden beer perfect for lunchtime. We also called in on a wet evening for dinner; and found the bar absolutely packed with walkers sheltering from their day’s expedition. This created a great atmosphere but was also rather noisy; which our designated driver was not keen on and so we decided to move on.
