Scotland is known for its wonderful scenery and for its brilliant boozers - so it’s not exactly a new idea to combine the two.
Luckily some of the best walks in the country can be combined with an alcoholic drink - or warming cup of coffee - along with some pub grub.
And importantly, dogs tend to be welcome in these handy hostelries. Everybody loves a pub dog.
Here are 11 of our favourites.
