Cairndow Stagecoach Inn

Built in the late seventeenth century, the Inn or ‘house’ as it was referred to then, has had many famous visitors.

Dorothy Wordsworth stayed here in 1803 as well as the poet John Keats, who visited in 1818, at which time he etched a poem into the glass of one of the windows and was inspired to write his verses Lines Written in the Highlands. Queen Victoria also visited the Inn in 1875 when the horses of her carriage had to be changed in order that they could make the steep ascent to Glenkinglas.

Today the Inn retains all of its charms with our bar winning CAMRA’S 2010 Real Ale Pub of the Year for Argyll. We offer a fantastic selection of whiskies and locally brewed beers such as Fyne Ales which are brewed just down the road from the Inn. Enjoy a dram sitting on the chesterfield next to the open fire in the winter months or a cool pint of lager in our loch-side beer garden in the summer months, or if you fancy some ’craic’ maybe stay in the bar and get chatting to the locals. So visit us and discover the many more stories we have to tell.
