HISTORY

Originally a Coaching Inn, the Cairnbaan Hotel was built in the latter part of the 18th Century during the construction of the Crinan Canal.

Cairnbaan Hotel is a special place to hundreds of people and has many claims to fame. The hotel has played host to several famous guests, including The Princess Royal, Vice Admiral Lawrence, President Bill Clinton and Congresswoman Hilary Clinton.

In quite recent years Cairnbaan has been an Indian Restaurant and at one point was considered the wildest pub in Mid Argyll with goats and other animals sharing space at the bar!

The hotel is now a stylish, relaxed and pleasant place and has been awarded three stars and a rosette with the AA. Cairnbaan is also among only 12 Hotels given the status of Scotland's Heritage Hotels.
