Souter Johnnie's is a real gem of a pub which sits in an area of Scotland which in recent years has been a little lacking in good quality family inns. The building has been restored in traditional Western Scotland style but not over-done, which gives a very comfortable atmosphere both in all seasons. You will find a proper open fire... more

Rabbie Burns was a pupil in the schoolhouse on the site of this old whitewashed Inn, which has been lovingly restored, and re-thatched this year. The vast car park was not quite finished on my visit, but the pub itself looked amazing inside and out, and could accommodate quite a crowd. I can understand why the Turnberry Hotel crowd are... more
