Moulin Inn, Pitlochry

The Inn is the oldest section of the Moulin Hotel and dates from 1695. The interior consists of a small, quaint bar area, with a real fire, and a larger section, closest to the entrance, which was mostly occupied by diners, but isn't specifically set aside for eating. The Inn has its own micro-brewery, in a separate building behind the main one. Four Moulin Brewery ales were on hand pump: Braveheart, Ale of Atholl, Old Remedial and Moulin Light (strengths as noted in the previous review). Given that transportation costs are minimal, my pint of Braveheart was suitably priced at £3.10 and in perfect condition. Belhaven Best, Belhaven Export, Guinness, Tennent's, Stella Artois and Highlander House lagers and Blackthorn and Aspall Suffolk ciders were also on draught. No TVs or music were in evidence. Many visitors to tourist thronged Pitlochry probably miss this place as it's in a separate village just outside the town. It's worth the half mile walk up the hill, however, just to visit this excellent pub alone.

Moulin Inn & Hotel is thoroughly recommended for the service, meals and the real ales. The 4 ales on offer are Braveheart(4%), Ale Of Atholl(4.5%), Old Remedial(5.2%) and New Light Ale(3.7%). My favourite is Braveheart.
