Marine Bar @ Marine Hotel, Mallaig

Part of the Marine Hotel, this is a down to earth locals' bar and, as the most pub-like pub in town, is my personal favourite. It's also the closest one to Mallaig ferry terminal and the collection of foreign bank notes on the gantry behind the bar suggests a lot of overseas tourists have passed through on their way to the islands. After a few pints here, I managed to go into the wrong toilet, due to the doors being confusingly labelled “Laddies” and “Lassies.” Prices are reasonable, with Tennent's lager selling at £3.10 and Caledonia Best, Guinness, Magner's cider and Heverlee lager also on draught.
