Founded in 1705, The Drovers Inn is reputedly one of Scotland’s oldest and most haunted pubs. Situated on an old drover’s road, it has welcomed countless visitors over the past 300 years, although according to legend, not everyone has made it safely. A young family who had been evicted from their home in the late 18th century were travelling south to start a new life in the Lowlands. They were not far from the shelter at The Drovers Inn when a bitter winter storm suddenly blew up. The blizzard caused them to take the wrong road and instead of finding a warm bed, the family were found frozen to death days later. Witnesses have seen the ghostly group both wandering the streets outside and cowering in the pub, always accompanied by a bitter cold. Another common ghost sighting is Angus the drover, one of many who stopped here with their cattle on the long journey to the Lowland markets. As people often do here, Angus drank far too much upon arrival and woke late the next morning with a sore head and no cattle in sight. His enterprising rivals had pumped him full of alcohol so that they could disappear with his animals while the poor boy slept off his intoxication. Angus returned timidly to his chief without the expected bag of coin or the cattle he still had, and was in deep trouble. He was banished from his home and his clan, losing his family in the process. Forced to wander the Highlands in search of a new life, Angus found it hard to move on. In desperation, he traveled back to the Drovers Inn, where he plotted his revenge. He waited for weeks until the same party that had robbed him reappeared. Angus was overcome with rage and could barely contain himself as he waited for the perfect opportunity to strike. That opportunity never came. One of his rivals had spotted him and knew exactly what the young man was planning. They came in the middle of the night, surprised Angus and hanged him from a tree next to the building. The murdered drover was seen at night, dressed in his tartan plaid and wandering around The Drovers Inn, seeking his revenge.

July 22, 2024, Beinglas Waterfall

Attention the Beinglas Farm - Beinglas waterfall tour takes at least 5 hours and is very difficult on the part along the river. Level differences of more than 0.5m. Special skills required and walking sticks required. The path is sometimes difficult to find in this section, it is interrupted by fences and follows a formed stream. Near the waterfall the route is also dangerous due to the risk of falling. Gr. Wim and Sabrine

A beautiful old bridge leads over the River Orchy and gives the small town its name.
