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.
5. The Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore
The Aviemore and River Spey Circular walk takes in a range of stunning Highland scenery and ends in the resort town of Aviemore - and its Old Bridge Inn. Expect to take around 75 to complete the walk, and a little longer for lunch. | Google Maps

The easy Loch Ness and Torr Woods Circular walk offers two hours of dramatic scenery and monster hunting opportunities, all ending with a warm welcome at the Dores Inn, feet from the banks of Scotland's deepest loch. | Google Maps
7. Sligachan Hotel, Skye
With rugged island views in every direction, the Sligachan Hotel is the ideal pitstop after walking Glen Sligachan. Taking around six hours, the walk is one of the finest on the Isle of Skye. | Google Maps
8. The Byre Inn, Brig o’Turk
The lovely Byre Inn is perfectly located between two of Scotland's most beautifu lochs - Loch Vennacher and Loch Achray. Pop in for a pint and a snack after enjoying walking one of the many trails around Glen Finglas and Loch Vanachar. | Google Maps
