Highlands and Western Isles CAMRA

Campaign for Real Ale

Pubs of the Year

The Kinlochewe Hotel is the overall Highlands & Western Isles Pub-of-the-Year 2017

Every year members are asked to vote for their favourite pubs which results in seven area winners -

  • Inverness
  • Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey
  • Easter Ross & Loch Ness
  • Fort William & Lochaber
  • Wester Ross & Lochalsh
  • Caithness & Sutherland
  • Isle of Skye & Western Isles

Using CAMRA Scoring guidelines the Branch Committee then selects an overall Branch Winner.

The overall Highlands & Western Isles CAMRA Branch winner goes forward each year to be judged against other branches to decide the Scottish & Northern Ireland Regional Pub-of-the-Year. Full National Pub-of-the-Year structure and schedule here.
