It was a nice place , very cosy, but didn't know until I got there it was cash only. I rarely hold cash, so I had to borrow money while I was there. Other then that I was fine!

Excellent local. Dot and Bill are friendly experienced owners that make you feel very welcome. Great place for a game of pool, as they both play very well and have a great relationship with the locals. Very close to the caves where ancient pictish symbols can be found. Also one of only two gravestones designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh lies just across the road behind a walled cemetery.

A great example of a local pub. I've not stayed here so can't comment on the rooms although they are always full. The bar is cosy and the owners welcoming. The function room upstairs is a reasonable size with tables, chairs and real crockery if you want it. The buffet food at our function was good but not exceptional. An all round decent place to drop in for a quick drink or meet your neighbours if you are local.
