Exterior of the historic Drovers Inn, Loch Lomond

Experience the atmosphere of this unique hotel, set at the very top of Loch Lomond

Steeped in history & Scottish hospitality

With over 300 years’ worth of visitors, you’d expect the walls of the Drovers inn to be able to tell a tale or two. From the famous to the infamous, this historic building has welcomed hundreds of thousands of people, Rob Roy and Gerard Butler to name just a few.

On arrival at the Drovers inn you’ll immediately be struck by the imposing architecture and authenticity. Once inside, it’s like taking a step back in time. To an era where folk sang songs and drank their whisky neat by candlelight. Where the fire’s always lit, the food’s always good and the people are always smiling.

Eat, drink & relax in the famous atmosphere

The Drovers inn is an old inn used by the Highland drovers who used to drive their cattle down the side of Loch Lomond to the markets. The decor and furniture, in deference to the past, remain as authentic as the Drovers itself. As you enter the reception hall you are faced by a full grown, stuffed grizzly bear, an assortment of other animals and the assured feeling that this place is going to stay in your consciousness for a long time to come, for all the right reasons. You may just hear a bump in the night as guests over the years came across many unusual sights and sounds, with spine tingling ghost stories to share. The Scotsman has also named us as one of Scotland’s most haunted pubs!

Scotland’s most popular trail, the West Highland Way, is a challenging 95 mile walk from Milngavie near Glasgow leading northwards to Fort William, beneath Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain. The Drovers is ideally situated for a well-deserved stop off at the end of a day.

The Drovers inn has many Munros and Corbetts plus many low level and easy walks in the area. It’s the ideal location to stay, to eat, relax and soak in the famous atmosphere. Live entertainment features every weekend and in the winter our famous log fire will heat you after a day in the mountains.

Coach parties and large bookings are welcome all year round. We offer set meals and refreshment packages for coach trips and large travelling parties. Please contact us for more information.
