As an old coach inn, the Clachnaharry Inn has been keeping punters happy ever since it was first given a licence in 1836.  Situated on the banks of the Caledonian Canal, the Clachnaharry Inn has established itself as a pub synonymous with great beer, great food and great Highland Hospitality.  With a huge range of ever changing cask and real ales, there is always a wide selection on offer, ranging from the established favourites to some of the tremendous local brews of Inverness and the Black Isle.

In fact, so good is the Real Ale that the Clachnaharry has won the Inverness & Highland CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2000 - 2003 and 2005 - 2007, as well as the Scottish CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2001. On the food front, the affordable selection of traditional Scottish fayre has also helped in confirming ourselves as a winner with locals and tourists alike, particularly during the summer months when the views of the Canal and the Beauly Firth can be enjoyed from the Beer Garden which can seat up to 40 people.

The Clachnaharry Inn was recently re-acquired by George Maclean, who first purchased the pub in 1975. In fact, his son Ross is also a partner in the business nowadays – incidentally, he was born in November 1977, on the very day that the pub won its first award under Maclean stewardship… So here’s hoping that we can add another one to the mantelpiece in 2004! Now that the pub is back under new ownership, there are some fairly major refurbishment plans in place. The emphasis will still remain on continuing to put our customer first and producing quality ales and superb food, but we are looking to upgrade the lounge area and do some work to make the beer garden even better!
