We are having our evening meal at The Clachan Inn, Drymen – Richard reliably informs me this is the old licensed public house in Scotland.
The food was excellent – I had the Chef’s special lamb burger followed by hot chocolate fudge cake and ice cream. Having to return to Drymem because we could not get accommodation further down the walk has worked out for the best.
Drymen has:
- a large amount of accommodation covering all price brackets – but I think you should book with Carol at Elmbank
- lots of places to eat
- a Spar store with long opening hours – being a village store it is small but stocked with all sorts of things – Richard bought some glue there
- the taxi firm in the village will run you around – it cost us £15 to get back this evening – and they have taken a booking for tomorrow to take us back
So my suggestion is forget Rowardennan and stay two nights in Drymen at Elmbank.
