We read reviews prior to our trip that made us wonder what we would find at The Clansmen. Most happily, what we found was good food, good service and a relaxed & welcoming atmosphere. My husband and I both enjoyed an excellent salmon dish. Our friend equally enjoyed his burger. All plates left our table empty, and we left with stomachs full of good food and heads full of good memories.

Nice little pub, very casual. There’s a fireplace that makes the pub cozy. The service was just okay but the food was delicious so we ate there twice on our trip. We had the salmon salad, soup of the day (lentil tomato), and the pork belly. We would return if visiting the area again.

Great place to stop after a hike. Lovely people, hearty food. In a prime location at the start or end of your hike of Ben Lomond. The beer garden is extensive with a jeti giving you stunning views of Loch Lomond. Great place to relax and unwind.
