Bandstand (Braeval, Nairn)

Set overlooking the green, beyond the beach and Moray Firth, The Bandstand Bar in the Braeval Hotel has five handpumps offering a great selection of local and regional Scottish ales, with the occasional English one. The annual free entry beer festival in early May is said to be the biggest independent in the UK with around 200+ ales and ciders from all over the UK, accompanied with themed food and music acts over three days.
