h3. Explore Drymen and Loch Lomond

The Buchanan Arms is located in the conservation village of Drymen, part of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

The popular tourist town has a long history. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Drymen was a popular stopover for Highland cattle drovers. The beautiful parish was built in 1881 and just outside the village are the ruins of Buchanan Castle, a former stronghold of the powerful Grahams of Montrose which dates back to the 17th Century.

Drymen is a great base to explore the spectacular eastern shore of Loch Lomond. As the Buchanan Arms is situated on the path of the West Highland Way, guests could complete some of the famous walk or rent bikes in the village and follow the Loch Lomond cycleway.
