The best pubs Hebrides

The Merchant Bar at the Bosville Hotel is probably the best pub in Portree for the setting and the beers served. Here you can enjoy several products from the Skye Brewery and a good number of single malts in a small, long room where the large stones and heating stoves set the scene. You will also find an excellent selection of Scottish gins and, of course, single malts from the island. You can also sample the much-loved - also award-winning - Thistly Cross farmhouse Cider, which is of course draught-proofed.

In the small village of Stein, north of Dunvegan, this pub already lived in its white cottage in the 18th century. It is the oldest inn on the island and is proud of this title. In the hands of the same family for about twenty years, you can enjoy a traditional setting and nice views of the loch. 125 single malts are present at the bar, as well as local real ales and sometimes Cairngorms. The establishment is also a hotel and restaurant, for a stay with a breathtaking view of the bay of Loch and a guaranteed relaxation.

This superb pub, typical of the Hebrides, is very traditional and popular. Its panelled walls, tartan carpeting, ceiling flags, warming stoves, billiard table and darts make it a pleasant spot to relax at any time of the day or night. As for drinks, you can choose between several real ales and a good selection of whiskies. There is also a simple but very correct food pub and live music is regularly played. If needed, you can stay there :The Mishnish is also a hotel.
