...by the ghost of a 6 year old who drowned.--also hosted Rob Roy and his band of thieves...
The inn was also used as location for a movie. (something for everyone!)
A small girl’s ghost haunts the Highlands. Guests sleeping in room six of the Drovers Inn in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, have reported feeling her icy form drip water onto their bed in the dead of night. Local lore says the child drowned after trying to fish her doll out of the quick-moving nearby river and now wanders in search of her missing toy. ---Beyond its supernatural visitors, the inn’s most famous guest was Rob Roy MacGregor, a local folk hero known as the Scottish Robin Hood and immortalized in countless stories and poems. -- The inn was featured as a location in the 2012 Halle Berry and Tom Hanks fantasy Cloud Atlas.

I've stayed there! No ghosts on our visit but just thinking of all the people who have shared a dram within those walls is pretty amazing.

It’s so strange to see a photo of The Drovers on here! It's not much over an hour away for me and I don’t really think of it as being in the Highlands. I’ve had lunch there a couple of times on my way further north. 😁
