Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Pot Still

Attractive pub with a split-level interior and a tall bar-back featuring a huge array of malts (with over 1,000 claimed, some requiring a ladder to reach). Not been in since 2013, but little of seems to have changed thankfully, with traditional furniture and décor and unusual decorated ceiling beams above the main part of the bar. Four handpumps, offering Stewart's Pentland IPA, Harviestoun Vienna dark lager, Adrift from Otherworld (£4.45) and Cromarty Pibroch. Good atmosphere, and well worth seeking out.

My daytime visit found a modest sized crowd of about two dozen, so I soon found space at a table. My half of Skye IPA was in very good condition (NBSS 4). The immense collection of malts was probably the biggest I have ever seen, but I overindulged in whisky last night so I resisted temptation. As mentioned in the previous review, the cask beer is gobsmackingly cheap here - my half was £1.88, a not unreasonable round up of half a penny compared with one of 14p (from half of £5.70 to £2.99) in the previous pub. Small amounts, but the difference is in the attitude, it seems to me. I returned the next day for another very good half: Skye Blaven 5% (NBSS 4) and a reasonably priced malt (Old Pulteney £4).

The Pot Still was absolutely heaving when I arrived and that was on a Tuesday evening. The prices may have something to do with it - £3.65 for my pint. In good nick, too, though it's so busy that there didn't seem to be a whole lot of time to peruse the pumps and choose. Mind you, the whisky samplers could do with making a quicker decision - that would help.

The crowd were a mix of locals and tourists, with rapid turnover meaning I could squeeze into a seat without too much delay.

This one's definitely worth a stop, though if you're hoping for a quiet time, daytime is going to work better.
