If you're in the U.K. Don't miss an opportunity to visit Torphichen Scotland. More than a living museum, The Inn is adorned by a large Red Cross. Built in A.D. 1119 by the co-founder of the Knights Templar, Hugues de Payen. Kenny Craig is the proprietor. A Scot through and through and a fine baritone ready to share a folk tune or two. Pipers make you know you're in Scotland. Greg Moody painted fantastic murals in the Pub that tell the tale of the Robert Burns poem Tamoshanter using townsfolk as the models for the characters. The banquet hall is adorned with his murals of famous Scots and their stories. Tour buses are treated to a taste of real Scotland. Including the blessing of the Haggis. Did I mention he makes the best haggis in all of Scotland. It doesn't get any more real than Torphichen where William Wallace held Parliament across the street in the ancient preceptory and graveyard where Templars lay. The staff and entertainment are top notch. The location is surreal. Catch a bus tour. Place it on the top of your bucket list. You won't be disappointed.

Tour group visit to the Inn hosted by the owner was a highlight of our trip. Drinks ready upon arrival, holding umbrellas out for us all to the doorway was a precursor to the extraordinary service that would last throughout the night. Very chilled live music during dinner was not overbearing and the show was very authentic. This is what I like to believe Scottish life must be like all the time. Personal recipe of Haggis that we felt needed to be done (surprising tasty) and dinner was like a home cooked meal, not the standard production line of food expected for large groups. Great surprise of a local Highland dance which topped off a great evening, then all the staff came out to sing goodbye. Just a very real experience with locals who genuinely take pride in their heritage, food and service. Really enjoyable night

This was our favorite night in our 12 day tour of Scotland! The entertainment was wonderful - a mix of bagpipes and more standard folk pub music. The food was the best Scottish food of the trip. The haggis was delicious, especially with the whisky sauce. This is definitely worth the drive!

Kenny and his team give you a fantastic SCOTTISH WELCOME into his family - what an incredible authentic experience- very humbling and Haggis is delicious?

What a great night out! A real Scottish experience. The place was cozy, the food was wonderful (loved the Haggis!) Kenny the host is so charming, I could listen to him all night. The Scottish dancing, the piper and the gentlemen playing guitar and singing all made this the best night in my 11 day tour of Great Britain.

Well all I can say is what a great night for tourists, our host Kenny was terrific, the band great and what a top piper and the meal was really good, wish this was our local pub, definitely worth a visit.
Always a very friendly and welcoming place to visit. Staff are lovely.

The food, atmosphere were fantastic and there are not words to describe this establishment hospitality We were made to feel like family from the time we arrived until they waved good by to us outside their door, Best haggis you will ever taste, try it even if you have never eaten it before. The music and entertain was great. A mix of Irish Traditional songs and some newer offerings from Scotland's newer artist. Our visit was truly a highlight of our travels to the UK
