Fiddichside Inn (Craigellachie)

A classic, unspoilt pub on the National Historic Inventory originally built as accommodation for railway workers. No frills in this pub, run by Joe Brandie for many years until his death aged 88 when the pub closed 24th September 2017. Joe won a Gordon & MacPhail Licensed Trade Diamond Achievement Award in 2012.

The pub has now been bought and reopened again - Friday to Sunday only in meantime. The cottage should be available to let from March 2020. A log fire warms you up on cold days and on sunny days you can sit in the garden overlooking the River Fiddich, which flows along at the bottom of the garden. No Real Ale but there are bottles of Cairngorm Trade Winds and others from this brewery available at a reasonable price.
