Who eats at a diner in the middle of the Scottish highlands?…read more Me. It was actually my birthday this day and I knew I needed a milkshake with dinner after hiking approximately 14 miles on the West Highland Way. The spicy chicken sandwich hit the spot. The Oreo milkshake was actually fantastical in every way possible. A very nice man named David was our server and we enjoyed his conversation!

This was one of the worst diner experiences I have ever had. We were greeted by a very unfriendly…read morewoman who judged us with every dirty look she gave us. The food was okay, though it wasn't worth the price at all. The mayonnaise tasted like it had been in the store for years. I ordered a Cheese Tomato Toastie, though was given one with onions instead of tomatoes. When returning the Toastie, I was once again given a dirty look. The new one tasted like they just reused the old toast. The diner itself was weirdly empty - I would suggest getting more furniture. Would not come back. Go to the TJ's instead - it is WAYYY better than this.

We didn't have enough time for a sit down lunch so we got a couple of sandwiches to takeaway. It…read morewas 2 slices of white bread with a slice of ham in the middle. That's it. When they bragged about making their sandwiches on site, I expected something more...my fault...it was okay for a quick bite at a quick stop along a tour.

We spent nine days in Scotland and hadn't yet had a British breakfast? How the hell did that…read morehappen? The more surprising thing is that this oversight hadn't even occurred to us until we sat down for lunch at the Bridge Cafe and saw that a couple of different breakfast plates were on option. It was not too late! I think we both went with the "Wee Yin," which was only £6 and came with an egg, meat (lorne sausage for me), bacon, a tattie scone, beans, and toast. I don't think I have a small appetite, but this was plenty. (The "Big Yin" adds additional good stuff for £2.5 more: haggis, black pudding, and mushrooms. I'd have to wait till the next morning to get some haggis and black pudding...) This was simple but hearty eating, and very satisfying at the midpoint of a drive from Skye back to the Edinburgh area. Spean Bridge is a charming little place, and this spotless cafe is colorful, has plenty of natural light, and a cheerful air to it. At one point, a couple of the young servers picked up instruments (acoustic guitar and accordion) just behind us, and I thought we were going to be subjected to acoustic jam versions of pop songs, just like those dreaded at a certain chain sandwich shop in the States. But this was pretty great, just an interlude of a couple of sprightly yet gentle instrumentals, and then they were back to their tables. Excellent spot.

The first thing to know about The Crofters is that it fills up quickly. They have a sign out…read morefront that says "Sorry We're Full". Don't despair, they turn the sign around so that it reads, "please wait to be seated". So if you don't arrive early you can hang around and wait until someone leaves and then you can arrive in confidence. The selections are traditional Scottish fare and well made. My roast beef was a little tough but tasty nonetheless. My guests had the fish and chips and they really enjoyed their dishes except for the peas. However, the peas only played a supporting role on their plates. The Crofter is very popular and the atmosphere is fun. Come for a pint or a meal. Today is our final day in Fort William so we will dine elsewhere tomorrow.

The landscape is fantastic here, but we didn't see any restaurants for a while. So when we saw the sign of Snack Shack we were quite happy. It was a pretty cold and foggy day, but still (or because of) the countryside looked amazing. We took a seat outside, since we were travelling with our dog. There is a good number of tables inside as well. Service was really friendly and we got our order quickly. We had a soup, which was rich and hot and a Honey Ham Sandwich (freshly made), which was also tasty. It was a very welcome stop and a good opportunity to enjoy the lovely views outside. Please be awere that the toilets are for customers only, which is very much understandable (even though we saw some sneaking in). Just buy something small if you need to use it.

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our hike of the West Highland Way, and had the best time here! The staff was wonderful (although it's obvious that they were all horse thieves, pirates and highway men in an earlier life, they were so friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome). The food was great (I'm still dreaming about that delicious steak and Guinness pie). The atmosphere made you feel like you'd stepped back in time-- lamp light and muskets and stuffed puffins and a bear in a Drovers t-shirt and kilt. OK, maybe not TOTALLY historically accurate, but history mixed with wit and a sense of fun. They tell me this inn is haunted. It must be by friendly, fun-loving spirits. On our first night there was live music at the bar. We enjoyed the singer/ guitar & harmonica player very much, but it all kicked up a notch when he got the whole room to join in on the singing. Everyone was clapping, stomping and pounding the table, while belting out a rousing rendition of "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond". I can't remember enjoying a meal more. On our second night there, the power went out (thank you, Hurricane Amy). The staff showed that although they are retired horse thieves and pirates, they take their current jobs in hospitality very seriously. They could not complete cooking of the evening meals, so it was a quick pivot to sandwiches for all. They handled it with professionalism and grace that made the inconvenience part of the adventure (as one staff member quipped, it was all part of the haunted experience). Breakfast, too, was pulled together with what was available and ingenuity, as they made instant coffee and tea with water heated on the wood stove, and we feasted on cold cereal and granola bars. But as the staff met the challenges with good humor and made the best effort to make it a good experience for the guests, we walked away with an abundance of good memories and an enduring fondness for the Drovers Inn (and its resident horse thieves, pirates and highway men).
