The Buchanan Arms Hotel, Glasgow

A Best Western hotel with a public bar (note the bowling green to the side of the building). Done out quite nicely in a baronial style with wood floor, embossed leather chairs, moulded coats of arms, fake black beams and an impressive bar set behind a stone arch. The overall ambience was somewhat spoilt by the jumbo TV showing rugby league to an audience of nil. Noted a room off to the right with brown tartan-style paper. No ale but Fraioch and Williams Bros Alloa Caesar Augustus in bottles. As an aside I stayed at the hotel for the night and it was pretty good but spent most of my evening in the Clachan.

Best Western Hotel on edge of village which includes a small but comfortable baronial-type bar in the centre. Sadly only a keg beer and lager.
